The color is a brilliant straw yellow with fresh fruit perfumes, especially apple and pear, and floral notes such as elder and bloom. The taste is very fresh and fruity, (yellow plum, star fruit and ground ginger), with a very interesting acidity. There is an important presence of mineral salts due to the volcanic origin of the soil.
Ideal as aperitif, light main courses such as pasta and risotto, shell fish and fish, soups and vegetables.
"Silvery emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of lemon curd, green apple, dried pineapple blossom, and tart peach with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a delightful, carefree finish revealing nuances of tart peach, white flowers, and lemon lime meringue. Looking forward to seeing more Soave in global markets; simple elegance makes this a wonderful table wine."

"With light aromas of almond, pear and manzanilla tea, this Garganega-based Soave offers a pleasing, creamy soft texture in the mouth. Lightly flavored but with good acidity, it would be a good companion to subtly sauced fish. The Cantina has 365 members farming 650 acres."
