La Rocca is 100% Garganega from the volcanic tufa hillside above Soave castle, barrel-fermented and aged; arguably Italy's most cellar-worthy white wine, developing hazelnut-honey complexity over 10-plus years while retaining the grape's almond-mineral core.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
Otto is Pra's barrel-aged prestige Soave, named for the year the oldest vines were planted (1908); extensive lees contact in barriques produces a Garganega of remarkable richness, hazelnut-cream complexity and long ageing potential.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
Capitel Croce is Anselmi's barrel-aged 100% Garganega, named for a wayside cross on the Capitel Croce hill; oak-fermented with extended lees contact to produce a richer, more complex expression of the varietal with hazelnuts, golden apple and creamy texture.
Sweet · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Romantic · Contemplative
I Capitelli is Anselmi's late-harvest sweet Garganega, made from overripe and botrytised bunches from the Capitel Croce and Capitel Foscarino hills; rich, honeyed and apricot-dominated but lifted by the grape's natural acidity that keeps it from cloying.
Dry · Light-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Refreshing · Easygoing
San Vincenzo is Anselmi's most widely distributed wine, a Garganega-Chardonnay Veneto IGT that captures the almond-blossom freshness of the Soave zone in a light, food-friendly, affordable white. The Chardonnay adds body without altering the Garganega character.
Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Refreshing · Easygoing

The flagship of the Montello DOCG, one of northeastern Italy's most serious Bordeaux-blend reds.

Il Rosso dell'Abazia has become the reference point for the designation.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Easygoing · Rustic
Phigaia is the accessible second wine from Serafini and Vidotto, allowing the estate to express the Montello terroir at a lower price point. The Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend is lighter, fresher and more immediately enjoyable than Il Rosso dell'Abazia.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Elegant

Speri's La Roverina Classico Superiore with partial ripasso technique; fresh cherry and tobacco character from the traditional large-cask approach, with added concentration from the ripasso step and the estate's characteristic acidity.

Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Rustic

Dry · Medium-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Easygoing
Tenuta Sant'Antonio's Ripasso shows the Mezzane valley's characteristic earthiness alongside cherry-tobacco fruit; the small Oseleta addition adds a distinguishing spice note that sets it apart from Classico-zone examples.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Bold
Tommasi's estate Amarone Classico represents the fourth-generation family's traditional approach: a high proportion of Corvinone adds floral lift to the dried-cherry concentration while three years in large casks develops structure.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Bold
Ca' Florian is Tommasi's single-vineyard flagship Amarone from the old Ca' Florian hillside in the Classico zone, showing dense, chocolatey concentration with elegant tannin structure and long mineral finish.

Sweet · Full-bodied · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
The defining wine of the Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio DOCG, Italy's most aromatic dessert wine appellation. Moscato Giallo grapes are dried (passito) on bamboo racks in the volcanic Euganean Hills; the intensely floral and orange-scented result is unlike any other Italian sweet wine.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
Gemola is the flagship red of Vignalta and one of the Veneto's most distinctive non-Valpolicella reds. The volcanic basalt soils of the Euganean Hills give a distinctive mineral thread to this Merlot-Cabernet Franc blend that is unlike the softer alluvial reds of the plain.
Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Refreshing · Easygoing
Pinot Bianco on the volcanic soils of the Euganean Hills produces a wine of notable mineral freshness. The volcanic basalt structure of the Colli Euganei translates into a flinty mineral quality in white wines rarely seen in the Veneto plains.

Dry · Medium-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Rustic · Easygoing
Zenato's Ripassa shows the Oseleta grape's peppery-spice influence even at the mid-tier level: good concentration from refermentation over dried skins with a distinguishing warmth from the native Oseleta component.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Bold · Elegant
