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

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.

Fabulous. Slight fruit, medium-light, just hints of mineral and shale

Classic garganega: key lime pie, lemon sorbet, also some stone fruit and melon-ish notes. white flowers, Candied sage. Medium bodied but with refreshing acidity. Finishes with a slight saline undercurrent and a bitter nut note. Fresh and Gulpable. But while not necessarily “serious,” also refined. Interestingly, seemed transformed after 2 days in the fridge, with the bitter note gone, a more concentrated white flower and key lime accompanied by notes of dried apricot and dried mango. Great

Pear combined with a citrus zest. There’s a key lime zing going on here. Very clean and refreshing. Paired well with lobster tail.

A light Italian white with lime flavors, especially on the finish. Refreshing. #73 on the Wine Spectator Top 100 list for 2018.

Citrus, full bodies great taste. A northern white from Italy that was a first time for me but would buy again!

Bright and light with good acid and citrus for a lighter Italian-style fish dish
