Clivus Soave DOC Classico – The Elegance of a Volcanic Terroir
Born in the heart of the historic hills of Monteforte d'Alpone and Soave, Clivus Soave DOC Classico embodies the essence of this iconic Venetian region’s volcanic terroir. Made from the indigenous Garganega grape, this white wine offers a vibrant freshness and aromatic complexity that make it a must-try.

Terroir and Winemaking
The vines of Clivus Soave Classico thrive in mineral-rich basaltic soils, giving the wine its unique structure and depth. The harvest, carried out between late September and early October, ensures optimal grape maturity. The winemaking process is gentle: slow and delicate pressing precedes fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature (18°C) to preserve the wine’s aromatic finesse.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.
Nose: Delicately floral, with notes of hawthorn, elderflower, and violet, complemented by subtle hints of white-fleshed fruit and sweet almond.
Palate: Fresh and well-structured, revealing vibrant acidity, a perfect balance of roundness and minerality, and a slight final bitterness characteristic of Garganega.

Its remarkable versatility makes it an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes. Perfect as an aperitif with light bites and fine charcuterie, it pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled fish, vegetable risottos, and Mediterranean-style pasta dishes. It also complements fresh and creamy cheeses wonderfully. Serve at 10-12°C to fully appreciate its delicate nuances.

Authentic Craftsmanship
Produced by the Monteforte Winery, a historic cooperative founded in 1952, this Soave Classico is the result of environmentally conscious viticulture and a tradition passed down through generations. A commitment to biodiversity and quality shines through in every bottle.

Whether you are discovering Soave for the first time or are already a devoted enthusiast, Clivus Soave DOC Classico invites you to experience the richness and elegance of this exceptional appellation.
