The wine is made by the three Tessari sisters, Valentina, Meri and Alessandra. Together, the trio learned everything from their grandfather Guiseppe, who taught them to tend the land and how to make indigenous varietals with soaring aromatics and wonderfully minerality.
They run Suavia, a winery that along with all-time greats like Elena Walch and Elisabetta Fagiuoli have helped lead the charge in Italian white wine. The Tessari sisters have picked up almost a cult following in Soave, with their incredible lineup of wines.
This is far more than just a summer wine. Enjoy this high-toned treat all through the fall. It’s ideal as an aperitif, but can also stand up to just about everything from poultry to fresh fish, to any kind of cheese. The minerality – the balance, the pristine fruit, the price. There’s a whole lot to love here.

Textbook Soave with lemony fruit, nectarine and hints of white almond and chalk on the nose. Tangy and flavorful with fresh-toned acidity and a very subtle grip at the end. From organically grown grapes. 100% garganega. Drink now.

Stephan Steinmetz is a star in the Mosel wine region. His old vines are rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, the exact same vein of rock that winds its way from Sancerre through Chablis and Champagne to its final out-cropping here in the Obermosel. His Elbling is glorious — both completely unlike anything I’ve ever had and also eerily familiar. The color is almost clear, some might call it silver. A stunning nose of green apples and lemon peel gives way to fresh pear and bright citrus fruits on the palate. It’s a stunningly focused wine with a healthy dose of minerality and acid zip, not unlike great Sancerre/Chablis and bone dry.
It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
I’ve forewarned Nicholas Wines customers that the 2022 vintage in Burgundy appears to be outstanding. As such, I’ve been stocking up on as much as I can. This one though is a Saturday Nighter – a special wine for sure. It comes from Fourchaume (one of the most noted Chablis 1ers crus) and vineyards situated on long slopes facing the sunrise, which allow for rapid soil warm up – a huge key to making deep, concentrated Chablis. Here the soils are predominantly brown clay and only slightly stony. Most of them are fairly deep and well-draining. It’s one of those most special white wine locations in all of Burgundy. This is a classic.
