Ned Goodwin MW writes: Glazed quince, marzipan and fecund stone fruits careen along a mid-weighted palate, towed by typically saline acidity and a furl of smokiness. A warm year. And it shows. A blend of all plots that are not designated for the Foscarino. Volcanic soils only. Partly sourced fruit. All Garganega. Screw cap. Drink or hold. - James Suckling 90
Eric Guido writes: The 2022 Soave Classico Vin Soave entices with a whiff of crushed stone and chalk dust, giving way to crisp green apples. This blends ripe orchard fruits with stimulating mineral tones and fresh acidity. Silky and refined yet saline in character, this finishes remarkably fresh, with a lively tension that calls the taster back to the glass. - Vinous
Producer Notes
On the nose there is the nectar of field flowers such as chamomile, elderflower, iris. Mineral on the palate with an almond finish, typical of Classic Garganega.
It pairs well with risotto, white-fleshed fish, crudo and sushi or salads.
