Suavia Soave Classico

Soave Classico DOC bottle image

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.

“Packaged in a squat, screw-cap bottle, the Suavia 2021 Soave Classico is an organic expression of 100% Garganega. The unoaked wine is shy to open, but it does peel back eventually to various citrus aromas. Lemon curd and white rose cede to crushed flint stone that recalls the volcanic soils found in these vineyards. It offers medium density and balanced freshness. Production is 130,000 bottles, and you get excellent value.” — Wine Advocate, Oct 2023
“Textbook Soave with lemony fruit, nectarine and hints of white almond and chalk on the nose. Tangy and flavorful with fresh-toned acidity and a very subtle grip at the end.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2022
