Garganega

If your only experience with Soave has been mass-produced versions, prepare to have your perceptions completely reset by Inama's classic expression. This family-owned estate has been instrumental in revitalizing the reputation of this historic appellation, showing what Soave can truly be when treated with respect. Coming from the original Classico zone with its distinctive volcanic soils, this Soave is made from 100% Garganega, the region's noble grape. Inama farms their vineyards with meticulous care and takes a minimal intervention approach in the cellar, allowing the unique terroir to shine through. The result is a wine with remarkable depth and character – fresh and approachable enough for casual enjoyment but with enough complexity to reward contemplation. It's the perfect bottle to reach for when you want a white that bridges the gap between everyday simplicity and special occasion sophistication.

LaFiera's take on Soave is a delightful reminder of why this classic Italian white deserves a spot in your regular rotation. Made primarily from the Garganega grape in the Veneto region, it delivers that quintessential Italian freshness that makes you want to sit on a sunny patio and contemplate the meaning of 'la dolce vita.' This isn't one of those complicated wines that demands your full attention – it's the easy-going friend who's always pleasant to have around. With its bright character and food-friendly nature, it's particularly brilliant with lighter seafood dishes. The subtle almond note on the finish is the little surprise that keeps things interesting – kind of like finding that extra euro in your pocket after a trip to Italy.
