Tasting Notes

Inside Cecilia Beretta's Brognoligo Soave

Garganega off 45-year-old pergola vines in the Brognoligo vineyard, late-ripened on the cane and finished with 10% in French oak barrels. Expect chamomile, golden apple and a savoury almond close.

Nose

Pale straw with green glints. Chamomile and acacia open over ripe golden apple, peach and apricot, with a tropical hint and a light toasty note from the 10% fermented in French oak barrels. Orchard fruit and flowers are the signature, and they show in every glass.

Green AppleGreen Apple

Palate

Fresh and savoury. Bright lemon and stone fruit ride on Garganega's natural acidity, about 5.6 grams per litre at a low 3.13 pH. Late-ripened Brognoligo fruit and three to five months on the fine spent yeast give a medium body. They also give a subtly creamy, almond-tinged texture rather than a lean one.

Finish

The finish is dry and salty. It closes on the almond aftertaste the producer calls Brognoligo's signature, with a honeyed, stony echo behind it.

Overall

An organic Soave Classico from a single named vineyard, and a wine that punches above its roughly £12 to £16 price. A well-liked, good-value white, and Falstaff scored the organic bottling 90 points. It is best in its first three to four years with shellfish, lean fish and delicate risotti.

Wine fit score

How Brognoligo Soave scores for food, value and everyday drinking

Bright acidity, a sub-£16 organic price and classic Veneto pairings drive high food and everyday scores, while its fresh style keeps the cellar score modest.

Best with food 8.4/10

Bright Garganega acidity, a salty line and a versatile almond finish make it a strong match for Veneto seafood, risotti and lean fish.

Best value 8.2/10

An organic single-vineyard Soave Classico at roughly £12 to £16 with a 90-point Falstaff nod sits below the quality-adjusted price for the category.

Best intro to this style 8.0/10

A classic, approachable expression of indigenous Garganega: fresh, fruit-forward and low in tannin, easy for newcomers to read.

Best everyday bottle 7.8/10

Sub-£16, food-friendly and unfussy, it is an easy midweek white for fish and vegetable suppers.

Best for an occasion 4.5/10

A step above entry-level Soave thanks to the single-vineyard, organic framing, but not a trophy bottle for big celebrations.

Best for cellar 3.8/10

A fresh white built for early drinking; spent yeast and a little oak add texture but not long ageing. Best inside three to four years.

Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

Vintages

Brognoligo across the 2023 and 2024 vintages

The disciplinare, the place, the label

Why Brognoligo costs more than supermarket Soave

Organic farming, hand-picked 45-year-old pergola vines and a 10% French-barrel fraction lift this single-vineyard Soave above bulk DOC bottlings.

01

DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean

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.

Soave is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

02

The denomination rules, in detail

  • Allowed grapes. 3 varieties listed in the disciplinare
  • Yield ceiling. 15.0 tonnes per hectare
  • Minimum ABV. 10.5% vol
  • Minimum ageing. No statutory minimum - producers release on their own schedule
  • Tasting panel. No mandatory pre-release tasting
03

Region and area context

Soave falls within Veneto, covering Verona: the eastern hills and plain around Soave and Monteforte d'Alpone, to the Colli Scaligeri. The denomination is further divided into 2 sub-zones.

Direction

Drivers
4 up / 2 down
Main factor
Organic, hand-harvested 45-year-old pergola vines in the Brognoligo vineyard
  1. 01

    Organic, hand-harvested 45-year-old pergola vines in the Brognoligo vineyard

    Cost up

    Certified-organic farming and hand picking of low-yield old vines cost far more per bottle than machine-harvested bulk Soave, and underpin the roughly £12 to £16 price.

  2. 02

    Taglio del tralcio late ripening on the vine

    Cost up

    Cutting the cane to dry the grapes on the plant for 2 to 3 extra weeks concentrates the must and cuts yields, a labour-intensive step most DOC Soave skips.

  3. 03

    10% fermented in French oak barrels, plus lees ageing

    Cost up

    A barrel-fermented fraction goes through its softening second fermentation, then 3 to 5 months on its fine spent yeast. That adds cooperage and cellar-time costs above a tank-only white.

  4. 04

    Soave DOC, not a long-aged DOCG

    Cost down

    Soave carries no lengthy mandated ageing, so the wine reaches market quickly and avoids the cellar costs that push up Veneto's premium reds.

  5. 05

    UK duty and VAT

    Cost up

    HMRC still-wine duty of £2.67 a bottle at 13% ABV plus 20% VAT account for around £4.80 of a £13 UK shelf price before the retailer's margin.

  6. 06

    Scale of parent Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine

    Cost down

    A large Verona producer spreads winemaking and logistics costs across a broad range, helping hold this organic single-vineyard under £16.

Food Pairing

Garganega acidity and an almond finish: what to pour with Brognoligo

The fresh, salty line and bitter-almond close make this a Veneto table classic with lagoon shrimp, salt cod and delicate risotti.

Acidity matching Strong match

Venetian shellfish and salt cod

Garganega's fresh acidity and salty line cut through fried lagoon shrimp and the richness of whipped salt cod. The wine is dry, so each bite stays clean without fighting the brine.

Try with: Polenta e schie · Baccalà Mantecato · fritto misto · grilled prawns · More pairings →

Aromatic bridge Strong match

Saffron and delicate risotti

Chamomile and almond aromatics bridge saffron and slow-stirred rice, while the small French-oak fraction matches a creamy, buttery grain. Acidity stops the dish turning heavy.

Try with: Risotto alla Milanese · Radicchio risotto · seafood risotto · pumpkin risotto · More pairings →

Salt balance Good match

Simply grilled lean fish

The wine's stony, salty edge echoes sea-fresh white fish without overpowering it, and its bright citrus stands in for a squeeze of lemon.

Try with: grilled sea bass · branzino · sole · sea bream · More pairings →

Fat cutting Good match

Fried and creamy antipasti

Fresh acidity and the bitter-almond finish slice through fried starters and soft, milky cheeses, resetting the palate between bites.

Try with: arancini · fritto misto · stracchino · mozzarella in carrozza · More pairings →

Body matching Good match

Light white meats and vegetable mains

Medium body from the late-ripened Brognoligo fruit carries roast chicken and bitter-leaf vegetable dishes, while citrus keeps everything fresh.

Try with: roast chicken · Radicchio risotto · vegetable frittata · grilled asparagus · More pairings →

Avoid Clash

Fiery chilli heat and heavy barbecue

This is a delicate, low-sugar white. Chilli heat and heavy char overwhelm its chamomile-and-almond subtlety and make the acidity feel sharp rather than refreshing.

Skip with: vindaloo · Sichuan hotpot · spicy barbecue ribs · jerk chicken · Pairing guide →

Drinking + cellar

Cellaring a fresh Soave like Brognoligo

A wine for drinking young. Time on the spent yeast and a little oak add texture, but the fruit shows best in the first three to four years. There is no case for long cellaring.

Drinking window
2025 → 2028

Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.

Decanting
Not needed

Pour it straight from the bottle.

Serving temperature
8-12°C

Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.

Cellar potential
Low

A fresh white built for early drinking; spent yeast and a little oak add texture but not long ageing. Best inside three to four years.

Common Questions

It is 100% Garganega, the signature white grape of the Soave Classico zone, grown organically in the Brognoligo vineyard above Monteforte d'Alpone.

Yes. The grapes are organically farmed and the wine is produced without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers.

Fresh and savoury, with chamomile, golden apple and stone fruit, a light toasty note from a small French-oak fraction, and the bitter-almond finish typical of Garganega.

A classic Veneto match for shellfish, lean white fish and salt cod, and for delicate risotti such as Risotto alla Milanese.

It is a wine to drink young. The 2023 and 2024 are ready now and show best within three to four years of the harvest.

Recent vintages sell for about £12 to £16, stocked by UK merchants including Corney & Barrow and Svinando.
