Pleasantly floral and fresh, the 2021 Soave Classico opens with a blend of spring flowers, lime and melon. It's silky and round on the palate, slightly oily in texture, with crisp orchard fruits and juicy acidity to balance. The 2021 tapers off with a lovely inner sweetness contrasted by a tinge of saline minerals. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023) — 3 years ago

Wasn’t expecting anything from this and got a whole load of nobility. Don’t even know how this ended up in front of me but it’s absolutely worth a mention. Excellent wine if you like palatable density and deep savory characteristics with a balanced alcohol profile. Surprising and excellent! — 6 years ago

Wine-aisle stop-worthy just because of the traffic light red flashing here! Just the color alone draws in the consumer from the other pale roses blending in with the crowd. This red-blooded Italian exudes pomegranate-driven flavors and dry cranberry. It’s sangria without the sugar, fruit floaties or patience. This delicious wine is available on www.freerunjuicewine.com — comment and tag me if you would like a discount code! Cheers friends! — 6 years ago
