The history of Suavia consists of a castle, no frog, few princes and lots of princesses. The castle is the one in Soave: a heritage from the Middle Ages, when the town was still called by the old name of Suavia; Giovanni and Rosetta’s four daughters, however, have been the main female characters in this story since the start of the twenty-first century.
To write a good story you need a worthy setting and interesting characters.
Our story (the story of a family that has dedicated themselves wholly to the vine and wine) is set in a tiny village, mounted like a precious stone in the high green Soave Classico hills, covered with vines and olives.
Fittà, the village with its old basaltic houses, fountains, little church and sunsets, is the best possible setting imaginable.
Our family, the Tessari family, has lived and worked on this land since the nineteenth century. The history of Suavia however began later, in 1982, when Giovanni and Rosetta (the father and mother), aware of the great potential of their area, decided to set up on their own and make their mark, crushing their grapes and making their own wine.

Today Meri, Valentina and I (Alessandra) run the winery here in Fittà, where it all started.
“To write a good story you need a worthy setting and interesting characters.” We have all these elements in our story; every day we work as best we can, with sensitivity and honesty to make sure that this story is a really good one to tell and to copy.
This is Soave according to Suavia. It is a wine for flowered terraces and summer nights; a wine for bars with umbrellas and tables on the cobbles of an old illuminated square; it is a wine for Easter Mondays in the hills. It is a profoundly Italian wine. Our idea of Soave: fresh, fruity, easy to drink but with an unmistakable character at the same time.
