A true classic of northern Italy from one of the foremost wine producing regions for quality and the farming of Garganega; Italy's #2 grape, and production of Soave, in Veneto.

The second has Romeo tasting the wine after a tryst with Juliet. "Soave" he says to the servant who brought him the goblet, but he could have been speaking about one of Juliet's kisses.

Winemaker Notes:

Having wonderful character and structure, the wine displays a brilliant straw color with golden reflections. On the nose it explodes with a pleasant bouquet of white fruits that are wide and full, with attractive almond aromas; which are characteristic of Soave and Garganega. On the palate the delicious flavors are consistent with the nose, crisp and fresh, merged with accents of minerals and a lingering note of almonds that add a wonderful dimension in this very fine white wine.

This wine may be enjoyed for 2–3 years during which time it will retain all its freshness.

Pairing:

Perfect by the glass or with fruit and cheeses, fish or shellfish, poultry, pasta, and barbeque.
