2018 Suavia Bianco Veronese «Le Rive»

Region: Italy, Veneto
Farming: Organic
Grape Variety: Garganega

Off-dry, med-bodied white; delicately sweet | French toast

The Tessari sisters stand out in an otherwise male- and conglomerate-dominated region, steadily growing the estate their parents started.

On paper, «Le Rive» shouldn't work - late harvest, fermentation and ageing in oak, residual sugar - but it does, brilliantly. It's as if Garganega on volcanic terroir was distilled into pure essence, then transmuted into an enveloping cloud of persistent flavour.
