Suavia's estate Soave Classico is a fresh, mineral, everyday expression of Garganega from the village of Soave; classic almond-blossom aromatics with a crisp, saline finish perfect for aperitivo or seafood.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled sardines with lemon
    The wine's saline mineral freshness and acidity complement oily fish and citrus.
  • Seafood fritto misto
    Light, crisp Soave cuts through the batter while matching the sea-salt of fried seafood.

History

Suavia was founded in 1982 by the Tessari family in the village of Soave itself; the estate Classico is their workhorse expression of Garganega from the village's volcanic hillsides.
