Bolla Il Gambero Soave DOC Classico

A classic Soave from the heart of the Classico zone — fragrance-accented, light-footed, and with the characteristic minerality of the volcanic soils around Soave.

Bolla is one of the best-known names in the Veneto and has been growing Garganega on the basaltic steep slopes of the Classico zone for decades. The volcanic soils with their basalt formations are not a marketing term, but the decisive reason for the freshness and the slightly mineral note that distinguishes this wine from simpler Soave bottlings. The grapes are harvested by hand — hardly possible otherwise on steep slopes.

In the glass, it shows bright straw yellow. The nose brings white peach fruit, acacia honey, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it is light-weighted with lively acidity that carries the fruit without appearing intrusive. The finish is short to medium-length, slightly mineral.
