The Soave is a wine appellation located in the Veneto region, in northeastern Italy. This production area extends over the hills surrounding the town of Soave, east of Verona. Recognized for the quality of its white wines for centuries, the Soave region obtained its controlled designation of origin (AOC) in 1968. The main grape variety used for the production of Soave is Garganega, a local white grape that produces fine and aromatic wines. According to the appellation's specifications, Soave must contain at least 70% Garganega. The rest of the blend can be completed with other white grape varieties such as Trebbiano di Soave or Chardonnay.
Soave is distinguished by its pale color, with golden or greenish reflections. On the nose, it reveals floral and fruity aromas, with notes of citrus, green apple, and sometimes even almond. On the palate, Soave is generally dry, with a beautiful freshness and a minerality characteristic of the wines from this region. The best Soave present a beautiful aromatic complexity, with more evolved nuances like honey, dried fruits, or sweet spices. Their structure is elegant, with a lively acidity that gives them a lot of freshness and vivacity. Depending on the vintages and terroirs, Soave can present slightly different styles. Some will be more fruity, others more mineral. But all share this unique signature, between finesse, elegance, and character.
Q : What is the best time to drink a Soave?
A : The Soave is ideally enjoyed young, within 2 to 3 years after harvest, to fully appreciate its freshness and fruity aromas.
Q : Can I serve it with red meats?
A : The Soave is a light and dry wine, so it is better suited for fish dishes, seafood, poultry, and fresh cheeses. For red meats, prefer a more structured wine.
