📜 Soave Superiore
A top-category white wine from Garganega from the hills near Soave by Verona.
Soave Superiore is a top-category white wine from the Garganega grape. It is made on hills near the town of Soave not far from Verona in northern Italy. The name is protected as a PDO.
Garganega is a white grape of Veneto. The wine is fresh, with notes of almond, flowers and citrus. The hills around Soave are made of volcanic and limestone rock, which gives the wine minerality. The "Superiore" category is stricter than ordinary Soave: the rules require lower yields, higher alcohol and longer ageing. That makes the wine richer and suitable for keeping.
In the same area a sweet wine is also made from dried grapes. Soave is counted as Italian wine. The original hills are called Soave Classico. The wine is usually served with fish, seafood and vegetable dishes. Soave Superiore shows that a plain white grape can make a complex wine.
