Coffele Soave Classico 'Castelcerino' 2024
1. Introduction This wine is from Italy's Veneto region, specifically the Soave Classico Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) subregion. The winery was founded by Giuseppe Coffele and Giovanna Visco in 1971, reviving the historic Visco family's winemaking tradition that dates back to the mid-1800s. The house philosophy, now carried forward by their children, emphasizes 'absolute respect for the environment' and a dedication to expressing the unique character of their hillside vineyards in Castelcerino.
2. Wine Description The wine displays a brilliant straw yellow colour, often retaining slight greenish reflections when young. It offers a fresh and subtle bouquet, drawing out notes of white flowers like hawthorn and cherry blossoms, complemented by fruit hints of green apple, white plum, and a touch of sage. On the palate, it is dry, refreshing, and structured with a good balance, expressing a notable mineral intensity. It is known for its graceful, persistent finish and a characteristic subtle almond note.
Varietal Composition: 100% Garganega.
Optimal Drinking Window: Drinkable upon release, with potential for further cellar ageing until at least 2026.
Organic Status: Coffele is the first certified organic producer in the Soave Classico zone, and this wine proudly carries the organic classification.
3. Food Pairing This wine's refreshing, mineral-driven profile and light body make it an ideal aperitif. It pairs splendidly with fish and shellfish, especially raw starters. It is also a classic match for delicate pasta dishes and traditional Venetian risottos, particularly those made with asparagus or peas.
4. Vintage Quality The 2024 vintage in the wider Veneto region was marked by complex weather, including drought, heat, and later rains, which required constant attention in the vineyards. However, the vintage is generally expected to be contained in quantity but of good overall quality. The quality of the final wine, given these varied conditions, will be tied to the winemaker's skill in managing the vines.
