THE COMPANY

The Tessari family, that has been living and growing grapes since 1800 in Fittà, a hilly small village located in the north face of Soave, named his family business “Suavia”, the Latin form of the town name. In 1982, Giovanni Tessari and his wife Rosetta, aware of the great potential of their land, decided to start a business where made their own wine. Today, Meri, Valentina and Alessandra run the winery. Their story is typical of a family dedicated completely to the vines, always in contact with the nature and never losing sight of their own origins. Only two native Soave varieties are cultivated on the 30 hectares of vineyards: Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave, two white grapes that are the undisputed masters of this place, with vines planted by paternal grandparents that are now over seventy years old. The winery, modern and efficient, was designed to produce white wine only, using a rustic style that is perfect for the environment and the surrounding landscape, and it was designed to use the force of gravity, reducing the movement of must and wine. With this exceptional environment, and an exceptional family, Suavia and his Soave are the most important interpreters of Veneto oenology.
