Suavia Description

Fittà is the name of the ancient village where Suavia is based. It derives from the Latin word, “fictus,” meaning, “driven-in,” which refers to the masses of columnar basalt that are naturally found in the area and appear to have been driven into the ground. The name, Massifitti, translates roughly as, “embedded masses” and pays tribute to this aspect of the local area. Made from 100% Trebbiano di Soave, Massifitti is fermented in stainless steel tanks following a 24-hour cold soak maceration. It is then refined for another six months in tank.

Tasting Notes

Clear and brilliant in appearance, Massifitti displays intense aromas of stone fruit, white flower blossom, and mineral. On the palate the texture is creamy and the wine showcases defined minerality and vibrant acidity. All of these characteristics culminate in a long and focused finish.

Food Pairing

While ideal as an aperitif, Massifitti pairs nicely with vegetable antipasti like grilled peppers and eggplant as well as fish-based main courses. Also excellent with raw shellfish or sashimi.

I always look forward to tasting this excellent value wine. The organic Suavia 2021 Trebbiano Massifitti (with 2,000 bottle made) shows a sharp and chiseled quality with pear, quince and crushed stone. The tessaru sisters who run this winery were amont the first to bottle Trebbiano di Soave as a monovarietal wine, and many have followed suit. What I like most is how this grape has morphed into a Garganega-like profile with extra freshness and minerality. There is a note of sweet honeydew melon on the finish of this unoaked white.

“Attractive notes of ripe white peaches, sliced apples and white roses. Juicy and vivid on the palate, with bright acidity and a medium body. Clean and minerally crisp finish.”

POINTS
"The 2021 Massifitti slowly evolves with a savory blend of dried flowers, white smoke and musky peach. It’s soft-textured with a tension-building mix of zesty acidity and citrus-infused white pit fruits. A distinctly salty concentration amasses toward the close. The 2021 leaves a resonance of mint and chlorophyll on the fresh, cooling finish. This is a total pleasure to taste."
