Albino Armani
Incontro Soave Garganega
Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Ripe golden pear and baked unsalted almonds, tree fruit, lemon meringue, starbright, straw yellow in color, and a medium bodied, minerally, creamy mouth feel. This Soave has some acidity in its back pocket so definitely would pair well with seabass or sea scallops. Seams as though there is a slight oxidized feel to it, maybe due to air-drying the grapes before their pressed, similar to the process in making Amarone, resulting in its dried fruit profile, like dried figs and so on. I did enjoy it by itself though, quite a refreshing bottle, if I might say so myself!

A very pleasant and refreshing wine when paired with a variety of food. Pear, honeydew, and some floral and herbal (like fennel) notes on the nose. Melon, a little minerality, and refreshing acid on the palette. Paired well with chicken in lemon butter and a mixed salad with vinaigrette. The acid in the wine disappears with high acid food, and the wine feels a little fuller and softer in the mouth.
