Soave Superiore

Wine · PDO · 12 municipalities

Recognised in 2004 across twelve Veneto municipalities, including Mezzane di Sotto and Illasi, the Soave Superiore DOCG defines itself through highly restrictive production standards. To distinguish this classification, regulations enforce a strict maximum yield of 10.0 tonnes per hectare. The required blend must contain at least 70% Garganega, fermented to a dry profile with a maximum of 6 grams per litre of residual sugar and a minimum alcohol content of 12.0% vol. Base wines cannot be released before April 1st of the year following harvest, ensuring a straw-yellow pour marked by floral aromas and a delicately bitter finish.
