Otto Soave Classico Garganega

The 2021 Soave Classico Otto keeps me at the edge of the glass with its delicately floral bouquet. Sweet white flowers and spice hints complement lime and green apple notes. There's a burst of green citrus intensity on the palate, along with depths of saline minerality. A balanced inner sweetness adds fantastic harmony throughout. The Otto finishes decidedly long and staining with traces of candied lime but also fresh with a reverberation of tension that keeps the mouth watering for more. This is a fantastic entry-level effort from Prà.

Excellent bang for the buck. Rich, crisp, delicious.

Crisp, classic soave

Terrific wine. Blind, I would probably have guessed Vire-Clesse from the nose. Nose is fresh and has hay, orchard fruit, cold butter, and wet limestoney minerality. Such pure fruit in the mouth, and less body than the nose suggests. Easy and fun to sip this while dinner cooks.

Lots of citrus zest, fresh grass and herbs on the attack, fleshing out into peach and nectarine on the palate. Clear minerality and warm, sweet bouquet of jasmine flowers as well. Ample weight and juicy acidity. Far from boring is this Soave, it’s rather multidimensional and hard to put down. Classic producer at the top of their game in this vintage.

Passion fruit, hibiscus, floral notes. Strong pear, lemon Citrus, and almond finish. A little sweet but well balanced and very inexpensive.

Terrific, zingy, lean and bright, energetic wine with lemon curd notes

This is just a lovely classic Northern Italian white. Easy drinking but has more than going on then you expect. A terrific value.

Crisp lemons acidity + long finish delightful
