2024 Inama Vin Soave Classico DOC, Veneto

The Inama Vin Soave Classico DOC from Veneto is a benchmark expression of Garganega, crafted by one of the region’s most respected family estates. The Inama family has been producing wine in the Soave Classico zone since the 1960s, focusing on volcanic hillside vineyards that lend their wines a distinctive mineral character. Vin Soave is their flagship everyday bottling, designed to show the purity, elegance and food-friendly appeal that Soave can deliver when grown in its historic heartland.

In the glass it is pale straw with green highlights. The nose is fragrant and inviting, with aromas of ripe pear, apple and white peach layered with chamomile, almond blossom and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate it is fresh and medium-bodied, offering citrus and stone fruit flavours supported by crisp acidity and a gentle, slightly savoury almond note. The finish is long, clean and refreshing, showcasing both vibrancy and subtle complexity.

Food pairings highlight its versatility and Italian character: grilled prawns, seafood risotto, spaghetti alle vongole, or simple antipasti with burrata and prosciutto. It also pairs beautifully with delicate Asian dishes such as sushi or lightly spiced Thai curries. Best enjoyed young for its brightness, but it can develop extra depth over 3 to 5 years in bottle, gaining honeyed and nutty notes while retaining freshness.
