San Michele Soave Classico Garganega
Light, acidic and tangy. Nice aromas of meadow flowers, orange peel and melon with flavors of lemon, peach and chamomile tea with just a touch of roundness on the wine. An enjoyable wine and more straightforward than the Monte Fiorentine (which is more preferable and very highly considered).

I believe this is 100% Garganega. Nose of stone fruits, with yellow peach and nectarine. Hints of musty earthy scents show as it warms. I preferred this one a bit cooler. Medium body with peach and lemon curd. Nice acidity on the refreshing, but relatively short finish. A more interesting pinot grigio alternative for fans of Italian white wine. Nice
3/22/7/4/2 + 50 = 88 pts.

Somewhat flabby, and quite creamy. Still delivers mixed nuts, salinity, and some citrus.

Jun 4th, 2016Light orange and stone fruits with a clean minerality in the background. Palate is ripe and supple but not heavy. Fresh, balanced and very drinkable
