Notes | |||
"Golden-hued and medium-bodied, this wine is a superlative expression of Garganega, the indigenous Northern Italian grape varietal used to make Soave Classico. With white blossoms and delicate fruit on the nose – golden apple, pear, a tinge of ripe lemon – it features stony minerality, bright, refreshing acidity and lingering notes of honey." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The custodian of the oldest vines in Soave, a great many pre-phylloxera centurions, while the majority are circa 70-years-old. All tank fermented. Exemplary Soave classico, with white pepper, jasmine, glazed quince and peach pith, steely and dry, careening along a rail of saline mineral perk. Breadth, freshness, vinosity and phenolics, serving as a sheath of compression to the sheer intensity of the house style." —James Suckling "A minerally white, fresh and lightly chalky in texture, offering an appealing range of ripe green apple and pear fruit flavors, with details of honeysuckle, pickled ginger and salty minerality. Drink now. 9,000 cases made, 500 cases imported." —Wine Spectator |
