Gianni Tessari, Soave 2021

“Ginger Flower and green Papaya, wisteria lift out of the bottle. This is followed with lovely white nectarine, honeydew and pink grapefruit, lime and herbs, with a dash of nuttiness on the enticing nose and in the mouth. The wine is fleshy and soft that filling the mouth with fresh summer stone fruits and a zippy, citrus tang that adds a lovely tactile element. Truer to style, well made and executed and in screwcap.” – Importer

Gianni’s has collected numerous awards and accolades and are widely regarded as one of the best Soave producers. The terroir boasts an unmistakable oenological personality thanks to its volcanic origin with differentiates it from the other surrounding historical areas. The climate is mild and temperate creating perfect growing conditions for the two grape varieties Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. The Trebbiano (up to 20% in Gianni’s wines) adds flavour and vivacity to the density and structure that’s so typical of the local Garganega.

There are about 1,700 hectares of the historic and hilly part of “Soave Classico”, between Soave and Monteforte d’Alpone, the district with the highest density of vineyards in Italy, where the vineyards for GianniTessari’s Soave Classico lie.
