The 2024 Guerrieri Rizzardi Cuvée XX Soave Classico DOC is an elegant and refreshing white wine from Veneto, crafted primarily from Garganega with a touch of Chardonnay. Sourced from hillside vineyards in the heart of the Soave Classico zone, it showcases the freshness, minerality and finesse for which this historic Italian appellation is renowned. The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of white flowers, pear, peach and citrus, complemented by subtle hints of tropical fruit and delicate mineral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity and a smooth, refined texture, delivering flavours of lemon zest, pear, white peach and ripe apple layered with subtle almond and mineral characters. The finish is clean, dry and beautifully balanced, highlighting lively freshness and excellent drinkability. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and concrete before spending several months on lees, adding texture while preserving its vibrant fruit character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Soave Classico for customers who enjoy elegant, mineral-driven Italian whites with bright fruit and refreshing acidity. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, it is best served well chilled and enjoyed now or over the next 3–4 years. Ideal with oysters, grilled prawns, lobster pasta, vegetable risotto, sushi, grilled sardines or fresh goat's cheese.
