SUAVIA | Veneto

Table 11

Soave Classico DOC 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.

“Massifitti” Bianco Veronese IGT Fittà is the name of the ancient village where Suavia is based. It derives from the Latin word, “fictus,” meaning, “driven-in,” which refers to the masses of columnar basalt that are naturally found in the area and appear to have been driven into the ground. The name, Massifitti, translates roughly as, “embedded masses,” and pays tribute to this aspect of the local area. 100% Trebbiano di Soave, Massifitti is fermented in stainless steel.

VINTAGE: ______

“Monte Carbonare” Soave Classico DOC Monte Carbonare is the name of the hill upon which the vineyard that sources this wine is situated. The word Carbonare refers to coal and is used to describe this location because the volcanic soils here are black as coal. Produced from 100% Garganega and exposed only to stainless steel in order to preserve freshness, the Tessari family describes this wine as “earth in a glass”—a pure expression of their volcanic terroir.
