Structured, aromatic whites with a round palate and fresh acidity, with aromas of fresh almond, white flowers, yellow apple, pear, citrus and volcanic mineral notes. Typical bitter almond finish. Made as noble dry whites (Soave Classico DOC, Soave Superiore DOCG) and sumptuous passito dessert wines (Recioto di Soave DOCG). Also in Gambellara DOC. Native Venetian variety from the volcanic hills south-east of Verona.
Venetian DOC around the city of Vicenza (between Verona and Padua), varied soils (volcanic on the Berici hills) and pre-Alpine temperate climate. Merlot is the signature red: supple and fruity with plum, black cherry, herbs and a spiced note, melted and accessible tannins. Cabernet, fine Pinot Nero and tannic Raboso as further reds. Garganega is the signature white: dry and floral with citrus, almond, white flowers and a mineral note.
