Torre del Falasco Soave

Tasting Note Torre del Falasco Garganega

Pungent aromas of white blossoms, juicy pear and a hint of citrus greet you. On the palate, the wine is silky smooth and beautifully balanced; the lively acidity is complemented by a recognizable, delicate hint of almond in the finish.

Wine & Food

Thanks to its fresh character, this Torre del Falasco Soave is a fantastic accompaniment to light, summery dishes. Think of a classic pasta salad with seafood, grilled white fish with lemon, or a creamy risotto with asparagus. This wine also makes a good impression as an aperitif; it pairs excellently with soft cheeses or a platter of fresh antipasti.

Additional Information

Garganega is a white indigenous grape variety from Italy, mainly grown in the northeast of the country, specifically in the provinces of Verona and Vicenza. In terms of distribution, this grape ranks 6th in Italy. It forms the basis of the white wine Soave.

The Valpantena, a valley northeast of Verona, has long been known as a wine-growing region. It lies in the heart of Veneto, one of Italy's most important wine-producing regions. Since 1958, the Cantina Valpantena has been active here, a cooperative of 270 producers with 600 hectares of vineyards. Valpantena's area of operation extends across the well-known trio of appellations around Verona: Soave, Bardolino, and Valpolicella, with the latter considered a specialty. From this appellation, they produce, among other things, very interesting Amarone and Ripasso wines.

Cantine de Valpantena, responsible for the wines of Torre del Falasco, are known for their good value for money and were named the third-best Italian Wine Cooperative in Italy in 2017 by the renowned magazine Weinwirtschaft.
