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.

It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.

“Soaring lemon cream aromatics accented by notes of sea spray, lemongrass and beeswax mark this coastal Chardonnay from Flowers on the Sonoma Coast. The palate is fresh and linear. Oyster shell salinity, bee pollen and grilled lemon make for a savoury balance with delicate crushed chalk minerality.”
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.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck
