Suavia
Soave Classico D.O.C. 2009
Veneto, Italia
95% Garganega, 5% Trebbiano.
Lovely straw yellow/pale
gold in color. Lightly floral, citrus
and pear notes on the nose follow through on the palate and finish impeccably
clean. Elegant, with luscious weight and
restraint all at once. Underlying subtle
minerality adds complexity. Beautifully
integrated. Dry with long finish. Flinty, with light citrus, this could stand
up to a baked whole fish or pasta & seafood with light cream sauce, as well
as being an ideal aperitif with hors d’oeuvres.
This ROCKS!
Soave is one of Italy’s most famous white wines. The Tessari family runs the Suavia winery,
located in the Veneto region in northeast Italy between Lake Garda and the Adriatic. Since its founding in 1982, Suavia
has become synonymous with Soave and one of the appellation’s benchmark
wineries. Great care is taken from the
very beginning with the vineyard, with the Soave Classico terroir and very old,
select rootstock. The richness and
complexity of Suavia’s volcanic soil endow the wines with characteristic
minerality and flinty notes. Sunny days
and cold nights help create layered aromas and nuances.
