Prà 'Otto' Soave Classico 2023

Region: Soave Classico, Veneto, Italy
Grape(s): Garganega
Winemaker: Graziano Pra
Drinks Best: Now - 2 Years

For years Soave has had a dubious reputation thanks to the poor quality wines that were produced to meet growing demand in the 1960s and 70s. But starting in the 80s a small number of producers – Graziano and Sergio Pra among them – focused on producing wines of superior quality using fruit grown on the region’s hillside vineyards instead of the high-yielding plains. This bottling, which is made using 100% Garganega, features lively aromatics of white flowers, ripe kiwi and green apples along with a medium-bodied palate that adds minerality and crisp acidity to the mix.

Pairings: Pasta primavera with Fettucini
