Scaia Garganega Chardonnay (it also has a dash of Trebbiano) is a zesty, tangy white blend made by Tenuta Sant’Antonio, one of Veneto’s leading producers. It is a byword for value and a beacon of modern, quality-conscious winemaking in the Veneto region. <br><br> The blend may be unfamiliar, but the wine has tremendous appeal. There’s a spectrum of fruit aroma and flavour from grapefruit and orange to apple and pear plus an unusual zippy freshness that makes the wine both inviting and intriguing. <br><br> The Scaia label makes a strong case for the widening of individual wine horizons. The four Castagnedi Brothers – Tiziano, Armando, Paolo and Massimo – have left the limited world of co-operative winemaking behind and built a progressive operation that is pointing the way to success for a new generation of Italian winemakers. Scaia also makes a classy package, the bottles sealed with a Vinolok glass stopper.
