Produced from a selection of Garganega fruit from only the best plots on Graziano's estate. High quality fruit, several months lees ageing, and regular battonage result in a wine with great purity of expression, brightness and clarity... the epitomy of fine Soave.
Production
Soave Classico Staforte is made from 100% Garganega grapes, selected from the best sites of Pra's Monteforte Estate, situated in the heart of the Soave Classico zone. The name of the wine refers to the fact that Monteforte used to be called 'Staforte' in The Middle Ages. Garganega grapes are selected from a number of small plots, each with an individual character due to differences in terroir, but all known for producing wine with concentrated, taught minerality and depth. Each parcel brings variety and interest to the blend which increases the wine's complexity. The grapes are vinified and matured in stainless steel with 6-8 months lees ageing and regular battonage.

Tasting notes
A fine and poised wine with notes of ripe apples and a touch of spice. The palate remains pure and delicate, balancing great texture and structure, with a taut mineral core, hints of stone fruit, savoury characters and a refreshing, long finish.

Meet the producer
Graziano followed his father and grandfather into the wine business, studying oenonlogy, and taking over the family winery in the early 1980s. He bottled his first Soave vintage in 1983. Graziano now also produces red wines from his La Morandina estate in Valpolicella, and his reputation continues to grow. However, for many, his name is still synonymous with Soave - where he is regarded as one of a handful of world class producers who have revitalised the region.
