Contrà Soarda is a small, hillside estate in the Breganze zone of Veneto that specializes in wines made from the native white grape Vespaiola. The 2018 Torcolato is a classic passito-style wine: grapes are half-dried before pressing, producing a rich, amber-hued white with depth and complexity. Expect aromas of baked apricot, dried peach, warm honey, and toasted nuts. On the palate — layers of candied fruit, sweet spices, and a textured mouthfeel, balanced by fresh acidity and a lingering finish. The wine is concentrated yet elegant: ideal with dessert, aged cheese, or as a contemplative glass on its own
