SVS has long championed the quality that can be found in unfashionable quarters. True Soave is so good and in thoughtful young winemaker Davide Mainente we found a real winner. His family own 10 hectares of vines, both near the town of Soave (where the Cengelle vineyard can be found) and in the Classico hillside sites such as Pigno and Tenda. His wines are winning rave reviews in Italy and the UK from the press and our customers alike. The 2025s arrived in August and are already delicious, with more zip and concentration of fruit than the lighter 2024s from a cooler vintage.
