Wine Description

Suavia Soave Classico is composed of 100% Garganega grapes harvested from the Tessari family's 12 hectare estate located in the historic heart of the Soave appellation.  Suavia’s Soave Classico is vinified only in stainless steel tanks with several months’ lees contact before bottling. The resulting wine has a clarity of expression and regional typicity that speaks to the Tessari family's philosophy of careful selection, low yields and incredible attention to detail in the winemaking process.

Acclaim
“Offering a profile of ripe melon, apple blossom and clementine flavors, this minerally white is light-bodied and lightly mouthwatering throughout, with a lingering finish laced with delicate chalk and spice accents.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2018
“Vinified in stainless steel, this wine offers flavors of golden apple and Bosc pear laced with notes of sea salt. A hint of smoky reduction blows off with exposure to air, revealing a cool wet-stone minerality. Dry and a touch austere, it’s a versatile wine for the dinner table and will complement a range of simply prepared seafood dishes.” (Best Buy)
