Azienda Agricola Fasoli Gino
A full-flavoured white from 100% Garganega, made east of Verona by the Fasoli family, who farm organically. Sweet spice, ripe white fruit and honeysuckle lead to a long finish of toast, smoke and almond. It drinks now and can age up to 15 years.

Pieve Vecchia is 100% Garganega, picked by hand in three passes: early for freshness, at full ripeness, then late for concentration. It then spends about 12 to 15 months on its own yeast in wooden barrels and six months in bottle.
Sweet spice and toasted barley come first, then ripe pear and apple, closing on lime blossom and honeysuckle. The Fasoli family picks its Garganega in three passes, and the late last pass concentrates the aromas.

HoneyRound, soft and full of flavour, yet fresh and savoury. It rests about 12 to 15 months on its own yeast in wooden barrels. That shows as a creamy feel, with oak, vanilla and honey around ripe peach and apricot.
Long, bringing back toast, smoke and almond, with the wood kept in balance.
One of the Fasoli family's most important wines, rated highly by drinkers, with 91 to 93 points from James Suckling for the 2018 to 2020 vintages. Open the 2021 now with fish or risotto, or keep it until 2036.
Both shops on this page sell the 2021 for about £21 a bottle. One still lists it as a Soave, but it is the same wine, labelled Bianco Veronese IGT by the producer.
It scores best with food and for the cellar. This full, round Garganega suits fish dishes, shellfish and risotto, and the producer gives it up to 15 years.
A round, full Garganega with a fresh, savoury streak. It has the weight for fish first courses, shellfish, risotto, white meat and mature cheese, all on the producer's list. Keep it away from very hot, chilli-heavy food.
The producer gives Pieve Vecchia up to 15 years. It spends about 12 to 15 months in wooden barrels and six in bottle, and the 2021 should keep until 2036.
One of the Fasoli family's most important wines, with a long, toasty finish. It has the depth for a special fish or risotto dinner.
At about £21 it sits mid-range among Verona IGT whites. That buys three hand pickings, about 12 to 15 months in barrel and six in bottle. It can also age for up to 15 years.
Toasty, full and strong for a white, at 14.5% to 15% alcohol. It is a long way from a light, crisp Pinot Grigio, so it suits drinkers who already like fuller, barrel-aged whites.
At about £21, and with this much weight and alcohol, it is a wine for a proper meal rather than a casual weeknight glass.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Verona/Veronese denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Each year shows in Pieve Vecchia, the producer says, but the wine keeps a personality you can recognise. The 2021 is the vintage on sale here.
Gambero Rosso called 2021 a very good vintage in the Veneto, with refined aromas and a taut, lively feel. This 2021 drinks well now and, with the producer's 15-year ageing span, should keep until 2036.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
The Fasoli family has grown vines in the Val d'Illasi, east of Verona, since 1925. It farms organically, has used biodynamic methods since 2006, and all its wines are certified vegan. Pieve Vecchia is one of its most important wines, by its own account.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Verona/Veronese is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Verona/Veronese falls within Veneto.
Made at Azienda Agricola Fasoli Gino, Colognola ai Colli.
The Fasoli family picks early for freshness, again at full ripeness, then late for concentration. Three rounds of hand picking in the same vineyards take more work than a single harvest.
Fermentation starts in steel and moves to tonneaux. The wine rests there on its own yeast for about 12 to 15 months, then six more in bottle. Barrels and up to 21 months of cellar time cost more than a quick steel-tank white.
The Pieve Vecchia vineyards give 10 tonnes of grapes a hectare. Soave DOC, made mainly from the same grape, allows up to 15 tonnes, so a hectare here gives fewer bottles than a Soave cropped to that limit.
The Fasoli family has farmed organically since the 1980s, with no chemical weedkillers, pesticides or fertilisers, and added biodynamic methods in 2006. Doing without them means more work in the vineyard.
Of a bottle at about £21, close to £7 is tax. That is about £3.50 VAT plus duty of £3.33 at 14.5% alcohol, or £3.44 at 15%: the producer gives both figures. A 12% white pays £2.76 in duty.
The producer suggests fish first courses, shellfish, risotto, white meat and mature cheese, and singles out asparagus risotto. This full Garganega has the weight for creamy dishes and a fresh, savoury streak that keeps them lively.
Pieve Vecchia is a round, full Garganega, so it matches the richness of creamed salt cod or a seafood risotto instead of vanishing under it. Its fresh, savoury streak then clears the palate for the next forkful.
Try with: Baccala Mantecato · Polenta e schie · Squid ink risotto · Fregula ai frutti di mare · More pairings →
The producer names asparagus risotto as the ideal match for this Garganega. Its toasty, nutty notes and almond finish meet the savoury depth of a risotto, and its freshness lifts the creamy rice.
Try with: asparagus risotto · Porcini mushroom risotto · Risi e bisi · Risotto alla Milanese · More pairings →
Shellfish is on the producer's own list. This full Garganega has the weight for sweet crab meat, and its fresh, savoury edge cuts through butter or mayonnaise so the dish never feels heavy.
Try with: Crab · Mussels · Potted Shrimp · lobster
White meat is on the producer's list too. A white as full as this Garganega holds its own with roast chicken or pork, where a light Pinot Grigio would fade. Its toasty notes meet the roast flavours.
Try with: Roast chicken · Roast pork · Roast turkey · Vitello Tonnato · More pairings →
The producer lists mature cheese among its matches. Salt in an aged cheese makes this Garganega taste fruitier and softer, bringing out its ripe peach and honey. The wine's savoury streak matches the cheese in turn.
Try with: Cheese board · Strong cheddar cheese · Grana Padano · Monte Veronese
Chilli heat and the 14.5% to 15% alcohol of this Garganega feed each other, so the burn grows and the wine tastes hot. Its toasty, barrel-aged flavours also fight fierce spice. Save it for milder food.
Skip with: Chicken madras · Kerala prawn curry · Pasta arrabbiata · Pizza Diavola · Pairing guide →
The producer gives Pieve Vecchia up to 15 years and recommends decanting, especially for older vintages. The 2021 drinks well now and should keep until 2036.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Pour it straight from the bottle.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.

Confidence · MediumIt is a full-flavoured, barrel-aged white made from 100% Garganega by the Fasoli family at Colognola ai Colli, east of Verona. The 2021 on sale is labelled Bianco Veronese IGT and is organic. It is strong for a white: the producer's technical sheet gives 14.5% alcohol, and its web page lists the 2021 at 15%.
Not the 2021 on sale: it is labelled Bianco Veronese IGT, not Soave DOC. It is made from Garganega, the main grape of Soave, and older vintages such as the 2005 were sold as Soave DOC. One of the two shops on this page still calls it a Soave, but it is the same wine.
Sweet spice, toasted barley and ripe white fruit, with lime blossom and honeysuckle. The palate is round and soft, yet fresh and savoury, with honey, ripe peach and a creamy note of oak and vanilla. The finish is long, with toast, smoke and almond.
Fish first courses such as seafood pasta, shellfish, risotto, white meat and mature cheese. The producer singles out asparagus risotto. The wine's weight stands up to creamy sauces, and its fresh, savoury streak keeps each mouthful lively. Avoid very hot, chilli-heavy food.
Until 2036. The producer gives Pieve Vecchia up to 15 years, which takes the 2021 to 2036, and recommends decanting, especially for older vintages. The 2021 already drinks well, so there is no need to wait.
Two shops on this page sell the 2021, each for about £21 a bottle, so there is little between them on price. One lists it under the old Soave name, but it is the same wine.
