Soave wine is named after the homonymous town founded by the Lombards, also known as Suaves. It is among the first Italian wines for which production area has been limited by a decree, in 1931, and is also the first DOC recognized in Veneto, when DOC “Soave Superiore” was acknowledged.The indication “Classico” is a privilege of Soave produced in the “classical”, original, most ancient area, i.e. the hills of Soave and Monteforte.
