The 2022 Santa Sofia Croara del Lago Garda DOC has a sweet, fruity nose and a light, acidic palate with flavours of passionfruit and grapefruit offering hints of fresh basil and mint. Fabulous with sashimi, caprese salad, delicate ravioli, and mussels in white wine and garlic.Santa Sofia is located just north of Verona on the gentle slopes of the verdant Valpolicella Classico region and housed in the beautiful Villa Santa Sofia that was built back in 1560. The Begnoni family, who bought the villa along with its ancient cellars and vineyards in 1964, have worked to maintain the estate’s tradition of making approachable and elegant wines that represent the ancient Valpolicella terroir. Under their stewardship, Santa Sofia has gained a reputation which has seen it grow from a small, high-quality estate to one of the most significant realities in the Veronese winemaking world—one delightful example of which is the Croara del Lago Garda DOC.Trebbiano and other white varietals Veneto, Italy – 12%
