A Soave Classico cru. The vineyards in Casette Foscarin are situated to the north of the Soave Classico area. In calcareous soil of volcanic origin. Multiple passes through the vineyard for picking, soft pressing with low temperature maceration, and aging in barriques and tonneau for 6 months. The signature cherry blossom jumps out of the glass, CHERRY, CHERRY, CHERRY, stony minerality, hefty salinity, mushroom, dried herbs, cherry pith, yellow apricot, and Meyer lemon. Medium+ finish. Elevated acidity.

I rarely get to taste aged Soave, but thanks to one of my favorite wine bars in SF, I had the opportunity tonight. Why don’t I drink this region more often? Broad, flowing acidity match juicy pear and other orchard flavors. A rounded stoniness further adds to the intrigue. What a pleasurable start to the weekend.

Golden hue but still lively on the palate. Very nice Soave.
