2024 Bolla Soave Classico Rétro DOC

The Soave Classico Rétro from Bolla is a fresh, refined, and authentic interpretation of the classic white wines from the hilly heart of Soave. The wine is known for its light, elegant style with bright fruit, floral notes, and a subtle mineral tension. The retro-style label harks back to the long history of Bolla, one of Veneto's oldest and most renowned wineries.

Origin and character

The grapes for this Soave come from the original Classico region, where volcanic soils and chalky slopes produce wines with both aromatic expression and fresh structure. Garganega makes up the majority of the blend, supplemented by a small amount of Trebbiano di Soave. This combination creates a beautiful balance between juiciness and refinement. The microclimate, with warm days and cool nights, helps preserve freshness and keep the aromas clear.

In the glass, the wine displays a light straw yellow color. The aroma opens with notes of white peach, pear, lemon peel, and blossom, followed by a soft hint of almond. The palate is lively and refreshing, with a fine minerality that creates tension. The structure remains elegant and slender, typical of a well-made Soave Classico.

Vinification and style

Bolla uses a cool fermentation for this cuvée to enhance aromatic purity. The wine is aged on fine lees to add texture and subtlety without sacrificing freshness. The result is a pure, modern style that remains true to the classic Soave signature. No oak influence, no heavy textures, just lightness and finesse.
