Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Soave Classico — Garganega from the volcanic hills east of Verona, the original heartland of the appellation before it sprawled onto the plain. Pale and delicate, with white peach, lemon and a distinct note of bitter almond on the finish that is Garganega's signature. Dry and light-bodied with brisk acidity and a chalky, mineral edge from the volcanic soil. Understated by design — this is a wine of texture and restraint rather than aroma, and it flatters food more than it shows off.
