Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Another pretty Italian white, this Soave opens with a nose of white flowers, yellow apple, white peach, and sea salt, continues to a palate of apple, melon, granite, tarragon, saltiness, blanched almonds, and ends with a tingly chalkiness and spice redolent of white pepper. Refreshing and thought-provoking it’s an attractive sip!

The 2021 Soave Classico wafts up with a wildly fresh bouquet, blending sweet smoke with crushed rocks, pear and lemon oil. It's silky and refined, ripe in style, yet perfectly balanced with lime-tinged orchard fruits and a touch of exotic inner florals toward the close. The 2021 cleans up beautifully, crisp and refreshing with a mineral tinge, adding tension as chamomile hints slowly taper off. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023)

It finds a balanced middle ground between succulent ripe fruits and zesty acids, as its silken textures soothe the palate. A flourish of salty minerals and sweet florals seals the deal, as the 2020 tapers off long yet fresh. This is a lovely entry-level Soave. Well done. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)

Pretty Cherry blossom nose, though there's a lack of focus.

Lemons and flowers on the nose. Crisp textured lemons and lingering chalky finish. #soave

This is more like it for Soave Classico ! Wet stone and lemon zest with ripe cantaloupe. The acidity holds a higher RS in check. Delicious
