Suavia Soave Classico
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.
