Our Top 3 Best Whites of 2021
"...sensations of rapier-like intensity / delicately smoky, mineral nose / bone-dry palate of great length & depth, with a classic almondy finish."
96 Points - Decanter

"Enticing aromas of ripe lemons & baked apples / hints of peaches, flowers & wet stones / Tinge of fresh ginger / Round & silky palate that's full of bright flavor / Long, intense finish"
95 Points, Top 100 - James Suckling

The previous 2017 vintage was also
a Top 100 Wine of the Year:
"Svelte and finely knit, this vivid white is driven by both its minerally underpinning and its rapierlike acidic frame / pleasing range of pink grapefruit sorbet, nectarine and grated ginger notes / racy finish."
92 Points #70 Top 100 '20 - Wine Spectator ('17)
Welcome to the weekend!

It's already last call for one of our best whites of the year.

  • Load up if you enjoy Grand Cru Chablis, the finest of Loire Valley (Dagueneau, Silex Vineyard Sancerre), Lugana whites (Ottella), the finest Etna Biancos (Terre Nere, Pietradolce), or just great wine in general.

  • The mouthwatering minerality and extremely fresh fragrance are out of this world. There is so much clarity and detail in the bouquet and flavors.

  • These Vineyards have been in the Tessari hands since the late 1800's — and it shows.

  • 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.

The vineyards of Suavia are located in the center of Soave's Classico zone. This the traditional, hillside terroir that has produced Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave for centuries. Elevations of roughly 1,000 feet and ancient, volcanic soils yield wines of structure and character. Garganega from this area is known to generate some of Italy's most exciting white wines. In youth, the wines have pure aromatic focus of ripe fruit, hay, a flicker of florality and a minerality veering toward whetstone sensibilities. As Garganega ages, these traits transform into wines where delicacy and complexity take center stage.

The 60 bottles we have left will be gone come Monday, so please do get in touch asap.

Cheers,

2018 Suavia 'Monte Carbonare' Soave Classico

96 Points - Decanter:
"The Tessari sisters make wines which are the magisterial expression of the high vineyards and volcanic soils of Monte Carbonare, untrammelled by oak, malolactic fermentation or selected yeast aromas. Concentrated and initially a little closed, they need time to open but they reward patience with sensations of rapier-like intensity. The 2018 has a delicately smoky, mineral nose and a bone-dry palate of great length and depth, with a classic almondy finish." -RB (Nov 2020)

95 Points - James Suckling:
"Beautiful, glistening yellow-gold color, then enticing aromas of ripe lemons and baked apples with hints of peaches, flowers and wet stones. Tinge of fresh ginger, too. Round and silky palate that's full of bright flavor. Long, intense finish. Super Soave. 100% garganega. Drink now." (Nov 2020)
