ABOUT THIS WINE

The wine's identity is deeply tied to its single vineyard, Monte Carbonare, characterized by its unique black volcanic soils. The Tessari family, now in its third generation of female leadership, meticulously cultivates these ancient vines, some over 60 years old, to express the forthright, mineral-driven personality of this exceptional terroir. Suavia is recognized for its role in elevating Garganega and Soave wines.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Monte Carbonare Soave Classico DOC is crafted using 100% Garganega grapes from organically farmed vines. The harvest is manual, typically in early October. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures (14-16°C) for 16 days, with malolactic fermentation deliberately avoided to maintain freshness. The wine then ages for 12 months in stainless steel on its fine lees, followed by a further 6 months of bottle refinement before release. This meticulous process emphasizes purity, minerality, and the distinct volcanic character of the vineyard.
