Community Tasting Notes 5

  August 18, 2020 - 70% Garganega and 30% Trebbiano. Classic Soave notes of bitter almond, but with lots of attractive honeysuckle, which made for a nice marzipan sort of taste. I also get honey dew melon, peach, lemon, raw pie dough, and some salty minerals on the finish. Reminds me a little of a Virginia Viognier or maybe a Pinot Bianco. Very good. I like the honeyed almond taste here. Neutral oak that works quite well. I’d like to try it again with additional bottle age.

  July 5, 2020 - Medium gold with green flecks. Crisp but round and ripe. tension between sweet and bitter. Lemon curd creaminess with white flowers and very light oxidative notes of olive and almond but not at all heavy or fleshy. This was pretty complex and damn good! Approaching the rich end of the spectrum for a Soave but extremely well balanced and listed at only 13%ABV (and drinking that way).

  July 2, 2019 - Light and bright, soft with not too much edge. Slightly citrus, nice but not standout.

  November 4, 2018 - From a 4ha plot in the Monte Grande vineyard in Monteforte d'Alpone, where limestone is less prevalent than in nearby Soave, and the soils are volcanic and basalt. The grapes are allowed to dry on the vine for 4-5 weeks and the wine is fermented and aged in oak. This results in a very richly textured Soave, with ripe yellow fruit with a tropical edge, impressive minerality, but slightly low acidity. I think this will age very well.

  May 14, 2018 - Full bodied, multilayered aromas with finnesse and charm, minerality (volcanic soils) is the star here for me plus the trebbiano drying on the vines for a month method creates this structured and age worthy wine.
