Description
Since 1887 many generations of the Tessari family have been growers in Soave. In 1982 Giovanni Tessari and his wife Rosetta. aware of their land ‘s great potential for producing high quality wines. decided to stop selling off their grapes and to produce their own wine! They named their winery Suavia after the ancient town of Soave their 12 hectare vineyard is located soave zone some in Fittà (at 296 metres above sea level) and some in Castellaro. Mature vineyard at 30 plus years of age. altitude. volcanic soils and much work in the vineyard has produced great results. The Tessari daughters conducted painstaking research on old proprietary vineyards on elevated. sloping terrain. clonal selection and propagation were aimed at rediscovering pure. authentic Trebbiano di Soave “ a variety that is often misunderstood and that died out after world war II because higher yielding blander varieties were favoured.
Massi Fitti ( named after the basalt boulders characteristic of the area) is a wine made from the authentic Trebbiano di Soave grapes. grown for centuries on the Fitta hills.
Very smart Soave… we are talking delicious vino bianco here mouthwatering citrus. minerality and beautiful balance. Do not miss out here!
Andrew Graham from Australian Wine Review .. “100% Trebbiano grown in the Fittà hills. Who said that Trebbiano can ‘t be sexy? A great battle here between the sour. chalky. phenolic tang of Trebbiano with some of the salty texture of Soave. The Trebb wins on entry. the region through the middle and more Treb to finish. It ‘s long. honey blossom edged and really quite impressive in the sheer concentration. Much to grasp. 18/20. 93/100 “
