The Soave Classico 2020 Cassette Foscarin from Monte Tondo is a beautiful expression of the terroir of the Soave hills. This wine has a bright, pale yellow colour with golden glints, reflecting its freshness and refinement. The bouquet opens with lively aromas of citrus fruit such as lemon and mandarin, complemented by soft notes of white blossom, ripe peach and a touch of almond. The minerality of the volcanic soil comes through clearly on the nose and adds an extra dimension to the wine. On tasting, the wine offers a refined structure and an excellent balance between fruity notes and fresh acidity. The palate is elegant and lightly creamy, with hints of stone fruit, a subtle spiciness and a refined minerality. The fresh finish is long and inviting, with a touch of citrus and almond, typical of high-quality Garganega grapes.
An excellent match for grilled fish, shellfish and seafood, light pasta dishes with lemon or risotto with green asparagus.
Monte Tondo is a renowned family estate based in the heart of the Veneto region, surrounded by the picturesque vineyards of Soave and Valpolicella. The winery has a long tradition spanning three generations and is dedicated to making wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The family focuses on sustainable viticulture and works with the utmost care to guarantee the highest quality.

This process concentrates the flavours and gives the wine its characteristic intensity and complexity. Monte Tondo’s vineyards are located on some of the best plots in the region, characterised by limestone-rich soils and an ideal microclimate. This terroir, combined with traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, results in wines that perfectly capture the essence of Valpolicella. The Amarone della Valpolicella is a highlight of their range, a wine that combines finesse, richness and elegance and is a testament to their commitment to quality.
