Tasting Notes

Bright, straw-yellow in color with greenish highlights, Corte Giara Soave is gentle, fresh, and well-rounded with expressive aromas of apple, mineral and  floral notes. Dry yet deliciously fruity, it is best enjoyed with fresh vegetables, fish appetizers, Asian cuisine or risotto with fresh spring herbs.
