The Tessari family have been growing grapes in Soave since 1887, but in 1982 the family, aware of their land's great potential for producing high-quality wines, decided to stop selling their grapes to the local Co-op and begin making their own wine. The result is a stunning white with citrus, floral and buttery notes and a rich yet fresh palate. This wine will be beautifully matched with hors d'oeuvres and fish-based courses.

"Some richer, weightier Soaves have been hitting UK shelves recently, offering themselves, or being offered as, alternatives to white Burgundy. This is a more classic, medium-bodied style, with delicate nuttiness, apple-peach fruit and a crisp finish."
