Once the fruit arrives in the winery all bunches are hand sorted, chilled down and gently whole bunch pressed to tank.

These are the keywords that have contributed to the growth of the Vietti winery and brand, universally recognised today among the best Italian wine labels. The path of quality is traced, thanks to the respect for tradition and careful experimentation, where man and earth have always been able to dialogue. The intellectual, professional, and prospective legacy of Alfredo Currado and Luciana was taken up first, during the 80s, by their son-in-law Mario Cordero and then, starting from the 90s, by their son Luca Currado Vietti, subsequently accompanied by his wife Elena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, the Krause Family purchased Vietti.

When a percentage of around 5.5% alcohol by volume is reached, the temperature is quickly reduced to stop the fermentation. The wine, which is only partially fermented, is then filtered.

Sourced from hillside vineyards rooted in volcanic basalt soils, the wine reflects the unique geological character that defines this part of Veneto. The 2024 vintage captures a balanced growing season, allowing for the development of aromatic clarity while preserving freshness and natural acidity. Suavia’s winemaking philosophy is centred on minimal intervention, with stainless steel fermentation used to retain purity of fruit and highlight the intrinsic qualities of Garganega. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine shows a clean and composed profile, where citrus and orchard fruit are interwoven with a distinctive mineral edge. There is a quiet depth beneath its freshness, with subtle texture adding dimension to the palate. The wine’s structure is defined by tension and finesse rather than weight, making it both refreshing and quietly complex. It is a style that speaks clearly of its origin, offering elegance and drinkability in equal measure. With its balance of purity, minerality and precision, this is a benchmark example of modern Soave Classico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fresh and mineral\u003cbr\u003eAromas of white peach, pear and lemon zest, layered with notes of almond, chamomile and wet stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Crisp and refined\u003cbr\u003eLight to medium-bodied with bright acidity, showing flavours of citrus, green apple and stone fruit, supported by a fine mineral backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Clean and lingering\u003cbr\u003eA persistent finish marked by saline notes, subtle bitterness of almond and a fresh citrus lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Garganega\u003cbr\u003eCountry – Italy\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Veneto (Soave Classico)\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2024\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 12%\u003cbr\u003eOther – Volcanic Soils, Stainless Steel Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suavia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42647647027287,"sku":"SSCLAS-24","price":42.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/Suavia_Soave_Classico_2024_750ml.webp?v=1782281832"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/collections\/italy-vineyard_ad610b0f-8210-4f71-954b-c2ee20064327.png?v=1787122319","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/collections\/italian-whites.oembed","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
