Riviera del Garda Classico DOC Bianco Gioia 2024 Conti Thun

What kind of wine it is

Riviera del Garda Classico Gioia by Conti Thun is a white wine with a fresh and mineral profile, made from Riesling Renano and Riesling Italico cultivated on the hills of Valtènesi. It offers a balanced sip with hints of Mediterranean herbs and citrus. This style encourages immediate drinkability and supports a good capacity for aging over time.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from the Riviera del Garda Classico area, between the northern and western shores of Lake Garda. The local tradition values the native varieties and carefully manages agronomic practices.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it appears straw-yellow with greenish highlights, bright. The aroma profile reveals citrus fruits such as grapefruit and orange, Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and sage, and a mineral trace. On the palate, it is fresh and savory, with lively acidity and softness, finishing with an elegant and persistent finale on citrusy and floral sensations.

Food pairings

This white pairs well with seafood starters, fish carpaccio, raw shellfish, light dishes of white meats, and soft-mild cheeses. It enhances Garda cuisine, such as perch risotto, and adapts to national dishes like a carbonara pasta reimagined with zucchini and mint, highlighting Mediterranean aromas.

When to serve

It is best served chilled in tulip glasses to highlight its bouquet. The wine is ready to be enjoyed immediately and has a good aging potential for a few years thanks to its structure and minerality. Ideal as an aperitif in warm seasons or paired with delicate dishes from spring through late autumn.
