Santa Sofia 'Foscarino' Soave Classico Garganega

Santa Sofia Soave Classico “Foscarino” – Veneto, Italy

Producer's Notes:

A light straw colour, with fascinating silvery-green hues, it offers a fresh nose with the fruitiness of white peach and orange zest, vegetable hints of lemon balm and star anise, and flower notes of acacia and lily of the valley, as well as the mineral impression of damp stone that is so typical of all Soave wines possessing a strong personality; overall, a fine, well-balanced and pleasant bouquet of reasonable intensity. The palate is subtle and delicate, with a delightful acidic freshness, moderate alcohol and strong minerality; enjoyable and juicy, it has a long, clean finish, coherent with the notes perceived by the nose.

What we say:

Elegant, vibrant, and beautifully textured, Foscarino is Santa Sofia’s standout Soave Classico - sourced from the volcanic, mineral-rich slopes of Monte Foscarino, one of the region’s most esteemed crus. This is Soave at its most refined: expressive, layered, and quietly complex while still wonderfully easy to drink.

The nose offers delicate aromas of white peach, pear, lemon blossom, and almond, lifted by a subtle herbal note and a whisper of wet stone. On the palate, Foscarino is sleek and poised - medium-bodied with bright acidity, gentle fruit richness, and a long, mineral-driven finish that reflects the vineyard’s volcanic origins. It’s fresh yet substantial, making it an excellent food wine.
