THE WINE

The Soave Classico of the Rocca Sveva winery is 100% Garganega grapes grown on the hills east of Verona in Veneto; in this area, you can find the most important regional DOC and DOCG, well-known at the worldwide level. In particular, the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) has recognized the vineyards of Soave as the first historical rural landscape in Italy, an agricultural heritage of global importance.

Rocca Sveva is a charming medieval village transformed into a winery of excellence. The Soave Classico is part of a wine selection from the Veronese tradition; a fresh and elegant wine perfect to pair with fish-based dinners.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and only the selected grapes go to the cellar for winemaking that begins with a soft pressing; the must settles statically and the fermentation takes place in steel tanks. The wine refines in steel for at least six months and, after the assembly and bottling, it rests for a few more months in the cellar before being released on the market.

THE TASTING

Bright straw yellow; the aroma is delicate with pleasant floral scents that intertwine with fruity notes where golden apple prevails. Elegant and very fresh on the palate, this Soave Classico is a pleasantly fresh wine with a good correspondence between aromas and flavour and a bitter almond finish that is typical of this grape variety.

FOOD PAIRINGS

The Soave Classico from the Rocca Sveva winery is perfect with fish, white meats, and medium-hard cheeses. Try it with oysters, raw and au gratin.
