Casaponte
Soave Classico Garganega
Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
This wine has a golden yellow color in the glass. The nose is highly aromatic, with citrus minerals, apricot and a lanolin note competing for attention. The palate is brisk and full, showing Meyer lemon, guava and a hint of pineapple, all laced with a streak of salinity. The acidity is fresh, but not ripping. The long finish has a sense of apricot outlasting all the other flavors. It's a great wine for sipping, but it paired quite nicely with a way-too-creamy pasta primavera.

Really nice example. Tastes like a Venetian. Decent body, melons and a hint of acidity. Drink now. TJs.

Wonderfully subtle green melon, mellow and well rounded. Not enough of any characteristics to lay down a case for a couple of years, but a solid example of a really good Soave.
