Details
Acinatium is the sweet wine pinnacle of the Suavia range, and from the cool, squat bottle, this is a super wine. It's made from Garganega grapes that are left to dry before pressing, making for a wine that is so delicious and juicy sweet, yet still retains a sense of freshness. It's golden coloured with a nose of honey, candied peel and apricot, with just a little ginger, then a palate that feels so juicy, like a cross between fresh fruit and lollies, without feeling syrupy, and a citrus twist to finish. Utterly delicious!

Since 1887 generations of the Tessari family have been dedicated to the cultivation of their vineyards in the heart of the Soave Classico area, the oldest white wine production area in Italy. This is a beautiful area with special soils and climatic conditions, centred around the small village of Fittà which sits at a high altitude of 296 metres above sea level. Today Giovanni Tessari and his wife Rosetta’s three daughters Meri, Valentina and Alessandra run the winery in Fittà. In 1982 Giovanni and Rosetta, aware of their land’s great potential for producing high-quality wines, decided to stop taking their grapes to the local cooperative winery in order to produce their own wine. They felt a strong bond with the area’s tradition and culture, and so they decided to name their winery Suavia after the ancient town of Soave. Their vineyards share the same essential characteristics of rich volcanic soil with vines aged over 35 years old. Vineyard management focuses on the principles of vine balance and respect for the environment and landscape.

Pairing guide
The honeyed deliciousness of this beautiful Italian dessert wine needs a little contrast to really work its magic, so a dessert with some spice, like spiced apple upside-down cake or anything with some peel and ginger, is a great option. However, we can't go past a classic trifle for something really old-school good. It's a little too delicate to really cope with the coffee-laced lushness of tiramisu, but any preserved or baked fruit, some blue cheese, and decent biscuits make a dessert in itself!
