Monte Carbonare Soave Classico DOC
Monte Carbonare is the name of the hill upon which the vineyard that sources this wine is situated. The
word
Carbonare
refers to coal and is used to describe this location because the volcanic soils here are
black as coal. Produced from 100% Garganega and exposed only to stainless steel in order to preserve
freshness, the Tessari family describes this wine as “earth in a glass”—a pure expression of their volcanic
terroir.
Soave Classico DOC
Suavia Soave Classico is composed of 100% Garganega grapes harvested from the Tessari family’s 12
hectare estate located in the historic heart of the Soave appellation. Suavia’s Soave Classico is vinified
only in stainless steel tanks with several months’ lees contact before bottling. The resulting wine has
a clarity of expression and regional typicity that speaks to the Tessari family’s philosophy of careful
selection, low yields and incredible attention to detail in the winemaking process.
