Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury
One of the most admired single-vineyard Rive expressions in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. The Giardino parcel sits on the steep Colbertaldo hillside; steep gradient, poor soils and attentive pruning give the wine its notable concentration and precision.
Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Refreshing
Costalunga is Bele Casel's single-vineyard Brut from the Costalunga slope within the Asolo DOCG zone. The steep south-facing aspect and altitude produce a more concentrated and mineral brut than the entry-level Extra Dry.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
Bertani's Amarone is the reference for the traditional, extremely long-aged style: minimum eight years in large Slavonian oak produces a garrigue-herb and leather-inflected wine of remarkable freshness and longevity, lighter in colour than modern Amarone but strikingly complex.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
Bertani's Villa Novare is the prestige Amarone from their historic Novare estate, given six years in Slavonian oak producing a wine of extraordinary complexity and longevity; perhaps the most authentically traditional Amarone Riserva-style bottling in the appellation.
Off Dry · Light-bodied · Medium acidity · Festive · Elegant
Rich and aromatic expression from the 107-ha Cartizze grand cru hill. Bisol's long tenure on the hill and multi-generational vine stock give this off-dry sparkler a layered complexity unusual in Prosecco.
Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury
Filanda (silk mill) is the top non-Cartizze label from Bortolomiol, employing a longer extended Charmat contact for added yeast-derived complexity. A brut style with more depth than the entry-level range.
Dry · Light-bodied · Racy acidity · Savoury · Elegant
Brut Nature (zero dosage, under 3 g/l residual sugar) is the driest legal Prosecco style. Ius Naturae showcases the natural grape sugar without added liqueur, emphasising Glera's inherent acidity and mineral character.

Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury
Le Bine is the top single-vineyard Soave Superiore DOCG from Fasoli Gino's organically farmed estate. 'Bine' are the traditional wooden stakes used for old Garganega training; this label celebrates the estate's old-vine heritage from individual pergola-trained parcels on volcanic basalt.
Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury
Gran Cuvee uses extended Charmat contact to develop yeast-derived bread and cream complexity in the Prosecco Superiore framework. A premium brut with more depth than the house standard Brut.

Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · Racy acidity · Elegant · Refreshing
La Frosca from the Gini family's oldest Garganega vines on the highest basalt-volcanic slopes of Monteforte d'Alpone; the chalky mineral texture, fennel herb and white-peach fruit represent the Classico zone's basalt terroir in its purest expression.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
Bradisismo (Italian for seismic land subsidence) is Inama's prestige selection from the oldest basalt-grown Garganega vines, aged 18-24 months in French barriques; arguably the most complex Soave available, with extraordinary tension between rich oak ageing and the grape's saline mineral core.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · Racy acidity · Elegant · Refreshing
Inama's Oratorio di San Lorenzo is the estate's second single-vineyard Soave Superiore from the adjacent San Lorenzo parcel, showing the same volcanic basalt minerality as Foscarino but with a slightly more herbal, fennel-accented character.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · Racy acidity · Elegant · Refreshing
Vigneti di Foscarino is Inama's pure basalt-volcanic Soave Classico from the historic Foscarino hill, the most volcanically active terroir in the Classico zone; 100% Garganega barrel-fermented for a mineral, almond-hazelnut complexity of striking length.
Dessert · Full-bodied · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
One of Italy's greatest botrytised dessert wines. Acininobili (noble berries) is produced from 100% botrytis-affected Vespaiola grapes, selected berry by berry in the best vintages. The Sauternes influence is explicit: Maculan was inspired by a trip to Bordeaux in the late 1970s and applied the Trockenbeerenauslese selection principle to Vespaiola.
Sweet · Full-bodied · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
A passito-style dessert wine from Vicenza revived by Fausto Maculan in 1974. Vespaiola grapes are harvested late and dried on twisted cords (torcolato means 'twisted') for months before pressing. The result is a wine of high intensity, with botrytis-influenced apricot honey character balanced by the grape's naturally high acidity.
Sweet · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Festive · Elegant
Miele (honey) is Monte Tondo's Recioto di Soave DOCG, a rare sweet wine from appassimento-dried Garganega grapes. Recioto di Soave predates Soave's dry style and is considered the original historic wine of the Soave hills. Monte Tondo's version captures honey, dried apricot and candied citrus balanced by the grape's naturally high acidity.
Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury
Monte Tondo's signature Soave Superiore DOCG from the Casette Foscarin single-vineyard site on high-elevation basalt terraces east of the Classico zone. Extended lees contact adds texture while preserving the natural mineral character of volcanic Garganega.
Dry · Light-bodied · Racy acidity · Savoury · Elegant

Off Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Festive
A single-hill Cartizze grand cru expression from the Stecca parcel, with richer fruit, honeyed florality and greater complexity than the standard Rustico, yet retaining the hallmark lightness of the hill.
Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Festive
The vintage-dated prestige cuvee of Nino Franco named for founder Primo Franco. Brut in style, with greater texture and a longer Charmat contact than Rustico; mineral and elegant.
Dry · Medium-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Savoury
Le Creete (meaning 'the clay/chalk') is named for the specific Cretaceous clay-limestone soils of the parcel. An intermediate tier between the standard Lugana and the full Riserva Molceo; extended stainless steel lees contact adds texture without the oak of the Riserva.
Dry · Full-bodied · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
Molceo is among the most complex white wines produced in the Lugana DOC. Extended lees contact in both oak and steel develops remarkable textural richness and autolytic complexity in the Turbiana grape. One of the first producers to prove that Lugana could produce serious age-worthy whites.
Sweet · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Romantic · Elegant
Pieropan's Recioto di Soave from the Le Colombare parcel sits within the long sweet-wine tradition of the Soave zone (Recioto di Soave DOCG, established 1998); dried Garganega produces apricot-honey concentration kept fresh by the varietal's trademark high acidity.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · Racy acidity · Elegant · Refreshing
Calvarino is Pieropan's basalt and limestone single-vineyard Soave, planted in 1924 to Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave; the volcanic basalt soils give a crackling acidity and mineral depth far beyond the appellation average, with exceptional ageing potential.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · High acidity · Elegant · Contemplative
La Rocca is 100% Garganega from the volcanic tufa hillside above Soave castle, barrel-fermented and aged. Develops hazelnut-honey complexity over 10-plus years while retaining the grape's almond-mineral core.
Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · Racy acidity · Elegant · Refreshing
Pra's Monte Grande from the basalt-rich Monteforte hillside is a benchmark organic Soave Classico: Graziano Pra's organic viticulture and extended lees contact produce a pure, mineral, textural wine of genuine complexity and age-worthiness for the price.
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.
Off Dry · Light-bodied · Medium acidity · Festive · Elegant
Ruggeri's Cartizze expression from the storied 107-hectare grand cru hill. Off-dry and aromatic with richer fruit and honey than the standard Valdobbiadene range, showing the concentration that the south-facing Cartizze slopes produce.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant

Dry · Medium-bodied · Low tannin · Racy acidity · Elegant · Refreshing
Suavia's Monte Carbonare from the village of Soave itself: 100% Garganega from a steep volcanic tufa hillside with century-old vines; lees-aged in large casks producing exceptional mineral depth, citrus-almond precision and great cellaring potential.
Sweet · Full-bodied · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
A reference wine of the Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio DOCG (elevated to DOCG in 2010). Moscato Giallo grapes are dried (passito) on bamboo racks in the volcanic Euganean Hills; the intensely floral and orange-scented result is distinctive within Italian sweet wine.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
Gemola is the flagship red of Vignalta in the Euganean Hills. The volcanic basalt soils give a distinctive mineral thread to this Merlot-Cabernet Franc blend, contrasting with the softer alluvial reds of the plain.
Medium Sweet · Light-bodied · Medium acidity · Festive · Elegant
Villa Sandi's Cartizze Dry is at the sweeter end of the Cartizze spectrum (17-32 g/l residual sugar). The grand cru hill's concentration of sunny exposure and south-facing slopes amplifies fruit ripeness into ripe peach and mango territory.
Dry · Light-bodied · High acidity · Refreshing · Elegant
Opere Trevigiane is Villa Sandi's premium DOCG Brut, positioned between Il Fresco DOC and the Cartizze grand cru. It uses Glera from selected hillside parcels within the Valdobbiadene DOCG zone for a more structured brut expression.
Dry · Full-bodied · Firm tannin · High acidity · Contemplative · Elegant
The Riserva Sergio Zenato is the estate's memorial bottling to its founder, made only in selected vintages and aged five years in oak; high Oseleta proportion and extended ageing produce Zenato's most structured wine within the range, built for long cellaring.
