Buy OnlineA beautiful Soave that offers an absolutely delicious palate of abundant yet elegant, nuanced fruit leading to a lovely dry, harmonious mineral finish. These 35yo vineyards are at 220-230m elevation on volcanic soils of basaltic clay, producing exceptional fruit and mineral brightness. A European classic and superb value at this price.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The volcanic soil gives the wine a note of rare elegance and complexity. Our Soave “La Capelina” [offers] a beautiful freshness and mineral olfactory sensations of flint, citrus and flower, in particular cedar and lilies, apricot and elderflower. The palate is very persistant. Excellent with fish-based first courses, as the traditional Veneto dishes, such as risi e bisi (risotto with peas), risotto with pumpkin and risotto col pessin de risaia (risotto with fish caught in the rice fields). It is also well paired with spicy meats such as the soppressa veneta. In addition, it is well paired with fresh or semi-matured cheese varieties such as the Monte Veronese DOP mezzano."

91/100 Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast (2020 Vintage)
"Aromas of elderflower and citrus come to the forefront along with a hint of tropical fruit. On the bright, tangy palate, refreshing acidity accompanies juicy grapefruit, Meyer lemon and peach. Made with grapes grown in volcanic soils, it closes on mineral notes of saline."
5 Stars Angie Atkinson, The Wine Writer (2019 Vintage)
"100% Garganega from low yielding older vines planted on volcanic soils. Only gentle pressings are used in this wine, which is fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. Medium lemon in colour. Pretty aromas of ripe lemon, white peach, wet stone, and floral notes. Tasting this wine was pure joy. A dry palate with flavours of crisp apple, juicy lemon, white blossom, and a beautifully rounded texture. The lifted acidity adds structure and elegance and you’re left with a long mineral based finish."
