Azienda Vinicola Prà, Soave Classico Staforte 2023 White

Azienda Vinicola Prà’s Soave Classico Staforte 2023 is an elegant Italian white wine that combines bright fruit, floral delicacy and a refined mineral character. Made from Garganega in the historic Soave Classico area, it reflects Graziano Prà’s philosophy of allowing the vineyard and fruit to take centre stage. The Staforte name is associated with the estate’s more structured and age-worthy expression of Soave.

Tasting Notes
The wine pours a luminous straw yellow, with a clear, polished appearance. On the nose, it reveals inviting aromas of apricot, peach and crisp apple, layered with dried chamomile, white flowers and subtle mineral notes. These mineral nuances add precision and finesse to the aromatic profile. On the palate, Staforte is soft and rounded, with a balanced texture and a persistent, refreshing finish. Its gentle richness is complemented by elegant mineral tones, giving the wine both immediacy and depth. It can be enjoyed now for its vibrant fruit and floral character, while careful cellaring for several years should allow its texture and savoury complexity to develop further.

Production
Produced in the Soave Classico region of northern Italy, the wine is shaped by the area’s distinctive hillside vineyards and mineral-rich character. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed before fermenting at a controlled temperature of 13°C. The wine then matures for eight months in stainless-steel tanks, with bâtonnage adding extra complexity, creaminess and structure while preserving the freshness and clarity of the fruit.

Food & Serving
This versatile white is an excellent match for raw fish dishes, oysters and lobster, where its freshness and mineral character complement delicate flavours. It also works beautifully with pasta dishes, seafood risotto and lighter meats such as chicken or veal. Serve well chilled, at approximately 10–12°C. Decanting is not necessary, although opening the bottle shortly before serving can give the aromas time to unfold.

Producer
Graziano Prà has been involved with Azienda Vinicola Prà since the early 1980s, following a winemaking path shaped by both his father and grandfather. Through his focus on respect for the land, precision and fruit-driven winemaking, he has helped bring international recognition to distinctive vineyard sites such as Monte Grande and Monte Bisson in Soave, as well as Morandina in Valpolicella. Clarity is a defining quality of his wines, and he remains closely involved in the key winemaking decisions at the estate.
