Balestri Valda is our benchmark for what Soave can be — and proof that this much-maligned region is capable of producing white wine of genuine complexity, character and longevity.  The estate is led by Laura Rizzotto, a passionate advocate for biodiversity who farms her organically certified vineyards and olive groves with total dedication. Her philosophy extends beyond wine: she is an enthusiastic beekeeper whose happy bees are proof that protecting biodiversity is both possible and a duty worth taking on. "We say no to chemicals and grow our vines and olive trees according to the principles of organic viticulture, with every agricultural practice being an expression of our deep respect for nature and harmony with our ecosystem." — Laura Rizzotto The wines are built on Garganega — the great indigenous variety of the Soave Classico zone — alongside the native Trebbiano di Soave. Fermented and aged with minimal intervention, they are alive, textured and precise: wines of real mineral depth and a freshness that rewards both early drinking and extended cellaring. These are the antidote to the industrial Soave that destroyed the region's reputation. If you've dismissed Soave based on what you've found in a supermarket, Balestri Valda will completely change your mind.
