The denomination Soave, which includes 6,900 hectares of vineyards throughout 13 municipalities, is located within the Province of Verona. There are 2,781 producers, 249 bottling companies, 116 wineries, and 6 large social wineries. Soave makes up 5% of the total production of Italian DOC wines.
In 1931, it was the first wine to receive the royal decree of “fine Italian wine”, which was the equivalent of today’s denomination certified wines. Soave obtained its first DOC certification in 1968, and, in 1998, Recioto di Soave was the first wine in the Veneto to obtain the DOCG seal.
