2024 vintage: fresh, acidic, some peach, lime, and apricot notes. Some minerality. Long bitter almond finish. Paired well with light salad, goat cheese and apricot preserve. Perfect summer sipper or a pre-meal palate prepper — 2 days ago

Very good. Would pick up a bottle (had at a bunko’s night). Paired well with a lemon meringue pie. Easy drink on its own. — 15 days ago

Vintage 2021 | each time I drink this Gini Soave I am happy. It is beautiful: a good structure, minerality, lots of bitters. This is the first time my teammates recognized the Soave tasted blind. Also: honey, apple, butter, fudge and caramel. Paired the second day with a Thai Panang Curry. Not a great idea, the food was dominant. — 23 days ago

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The The 2020 Santa Chiara appears a deep orange color with notes of marmalade, apricot, flowers, and varnish (VA). The palate shows low+ tannin and decent acid. Tasty, complex stuff as usual. A lovely pairing with gougère of prosciutto, green olive and honey. Drink now through 2030-ish. Bottle No. 2814/5940 — a month ago

Medium bodied and a green/yellow color indicate some softening, but the wine itself is very green and fruit forward, green figs (but just the vegetal smell), with some acidity and notes of yellow fruit rind, crisp mountain air, grassy notes, and a slight baking note, like pastry, hidden away underneath. Palate is crisp, dry, with a balanced acidity, lots of limestone, crisp yellow fruits, maybe some yellow grapefruit, celery hints, lemon juice tartness, and an emerging grassy energy that starts to swell long after the sip is complete. Dry to the end, but not bitterly so, very nice. — 17 days ago
