About the producer
Tenuta San Antonio is a family estate in the Soave region, known for making fresh, food-friendly whites from the local Garganega grape.
About the year
The 2018 vintage produced wines with good balance and freshness across Veneto. At this age, the wine has settled into a mature, elegant phase while keeping its natural brightness.
Grape characteristics
Garganega is the signature white grape of Soave. It gives wines that are light, refreshing and mineral-driven, with flavours of green fruit and herbs rather than tropical richness.
About the region
Soave sits in the foothills north of Verona, where volcanic soil and cool breezes from Lake Garda shape the character of the wines. The region has made crisp, dry whites for centuries.
Tasting profile
Expect a fresh, dry white with flavours of green apple, lemon and white peach, with a subtle herbal note. The wine is clean and straightforward, built for the table rather than the glass alone.
Serving suggestions
Serve well chilled, around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. No decanting needed. A standard white wine glass lets the aromas breathe without warming the wine too fast.
