2021 Suavia Garganega Le Rive 0,75lt
Le rive is a wine that should be accompanied by faint candlelight on a laid table, or with a crackling open fire as a companion for reading. The overripe garganega and the long ageing period give it a full body that seduces the senses and a warm colour that lightly brushes your thoughts. Enticing aromas of ripe pear, delicate honey, and almonds combine with the alluring scent of pressed yellow roses. A medley of dried and baked stone fruit flavors open the palate alongside salt-roasted and blanched hazelnuts. Balanced by an acidity that keeps the wine fresh, despite the richness of the wine, making it an irresistible and mouthwatering experience. This wine has been well received by critics gaining 94 points from Wine Enthusiast and 93 points from James Suckling and Wine Spectator.
We harvest the grapes for this wine in a small plot of about one hectare facing south and belonging to the u.g.a. Fittà. It is located at an altitude of about 260 meters and is composed of a soil of clear volcanic origin with a clayey-silty texture. The vineyard is characterized by a steep slope (45%), the dialectal term "rive" in fact indicates a particularly steep terrain.
The castle is the one in Soave: a heritage from the Middle Ages, when the town was still called by the old name of Suavia; Giovanni and Rosetta’s daughters, however, have been the main female characters in this story since the start of the twenty-first century. Our family has been living and cultivating the land since the nineteenth century in Fittà: a small rural village mounted like a precious stone on the hills of Soave Classico.
The history of Suavia however began later, in 1982, when Giovanni and Rosetta (the father and mother), aware of the great potential of their area, decided to set up on their own and make their mark, crushing their grapes and making their own wine.
Today we three sisters, Meri, Valentina and Alessandra, carry on the family tradition and run the winery always working here in Fittà, where it all started.
Being aware of this, we can claim that our vineyard management is not a short-sighted one limited to the wellbeing of the vines alone, but it safeguards the landscape in its entirety.
The work carried out by man plays a very important role in the management of both the vineyard and the natural surrounding landscape, which is made up of elements that must be considered individually and duly taken care of in order to preserve the harmony created by their unity, i.e. that of nature itself.
