Le Poesie Wine Selections

The Wine
The range named "Le Poesie" encompasses a wide range of white and red DOC and IGT wines destined by Cantina Soave exclusively to the food service industry, with special focus on prestigious trattorie. The vines are all exclusively from Veneto and the DOC varieties are those typical of the Verona district; all this results in high quality produce from the Veneto region in general and the Verona district in particular, meeting the requirements of consumers and the changing market.

The Winery
Wine-growing in the Veneto region: long history, strong traditions
Today, Cantina di Soave still maintains the same basic co-operative philosophy, that of covering the entire cycle from vineyard to sales to defend and further the interests of all the members and to achieve a high level of flexibility in production planning.

Over the decades up to the beginning of the '60s, the co-operative continued to grow in terms of both members and wine producing capacity, with 434 growers contributing some 13,000,000 kilos of grapes.

In 1962 a new wine-pressing facility was built a few hundred metres from the original cellars and connected to them by an underground wine pipeline, which is still in use.

Over the decade following the opening of the new wine-pressing plant the capacity of the cellars gradually became insufficient, so at the end of the '70s the co-operative started to implement a policy of buying up small local wine businesses. In 1979 it acquired the Ruffo wine-making plant, where it concentrated certain highly specialized processes, such as that of classic sparkling white wine.

Finally, in July 1996, Cantina di Soave acquired and merged "Cantina Sociale di Valtramigna and in May 2005 also “Cantina di Illasi” that have permitted the company to reach its actual size and at the same time to enlarge the supply of grapes from its members.
