That is Andrea Fiorini-Carbognin, the CNO — chief nudity officer — at Garganuda wines. Because Andrea makes a 100% Garganega with nothing added, and in 2015 he created Soave’s first natural biodynamic wine. It’s just grapes, hence naked, nuda in Italian.
Both his grandfathers were winemakers, and today he rents a piece of their land from his uncle. “I think the soils of my territory are among the most interesting in the world.”

The terrain
Andrea's plots run from the limestone and clay of Valpolicella — where the Corvina and Rondinella for the Rosso ripen — to two very different pockets of Soave, each giving the Garganega something else to say.
The volcanic basalt pushes the Bianco toward a smoky, saline minerality with real grip on the finish, while the older limestone and clay soften the Verde into something rounder and more textural — less about tension, more about weight on the palate.

Soave Classico
Volcanic — Bianco
Basalt hillsides from an extinct volcano give structure and a saline, mineral edge — the backbone of the Bianco.
Soave DOC
Limestone & Clay — Verde
Flatter, older marine soils give a rounder, textural wine — softer fruit, less drive, more weight. That's the Verde.
