Suavia, Soave Classico (Veneto, Italy) Garganega “Monte Carbonare” 2022 ($26, Winebow)

Suavia’s Monte Carbonare stands out as one of the most exceptional values in premium white wine. Grown on ancient volcanic, pitch-black soils, this single-vineyard Garganega is a flinty, mineral-driven gem, bursting with ripe citrus, delicate potpourri, and subtle hints of white almond. Its vibrant acidity is balanced by a silky, refined texture, creating a wine of impressive precision. The finish is taut and tangy, with layers of complexity that unfold into lingering notes of lemon peel and ginger. A truly remarkable wine, especially for the price.
