Medium gold. Pronounced on the nose with aroma of butter, cream, apricot, pineapple, honey, almond, vanilla, straw. Developing. The wine is dry, medium plus acidity, medium alcohol. It has great intensity, long finish. Outstanding wine with great value! Drink now with potential to age.

Gyllengul. Intens duft av gul frukt, tørket aprikos og et touch av vanilje og eik. Rik, ganske svær munnføkelse, jeg tenker ‘glycerin’ uten at jeg helt hvordan det føles … men det smaker utrolig godt, det er en heftig vin med mye smak av gul frukt. Stor fylde med mer moderat syre, lang smakskurve med gul frukt og kamfertoner i avslutningen. Vi drakk Calvarino for to uker siden (samme sted) og den var kanskje ikke fullt så ‘ekspressiv’?

Oak, butter, vanilla, apple, nuts. Colorful and glamorous soave. Long-lasting nose and palate with great quality. Definitely well-made wine and many peolple loves this for some reason but not me. It’s too much for food pairing and not enough for standing alone in my opinion. I’d rather choose calvarino for pairing, not because this is bad, but this is in-betweener.

Waxy green almond white nectarine on the nose. Palate still needs to knit. Good freshness and midweight sap. Nice texture. Still has years to go. Hold.

Buttered shortbread nose. Apricot, almond, vanilla in the mouth (a touch of pineapple?). The finish is exquisite with acidity and impression of sweetness (dried apricot)

2014 Barolo and Barbaresco (Terra Rossa): Although the style isn't to everyone's taste, I always enjoy Rocca and this was no exception. Open, bright, spicy nose, with some lemon coming through. Opulent on the palate, which showed pineapple fruit and some oak that will integrate with time, and then an attractive, energetic finish.

A beautiful wine, very well balanced, put together meticulously. Nice lively acidity and vibrancy. Have 5 more which I plan to drink every 2 years, can't wait to see its development.

Interesting and distinctive. Lots going on here: rich, broad palate with some acidity keeping things honest. Peach and ripe lemon, great fruit intensity with a long, bitter (almond?) finish.

We enjoyed the '11 at lunch so much, we decided to pick up a current release at Signorvino to drink on the terrace. Much more fruit forward, apricot and peach but this felt a bit heavier and after two glasses, I was done - not as fresh and lively as I was expecting.

Kleur: Medium strogeel Aroma / bouquet: Subtiel, fris aroma met indrukken van bloemen,rijpe peer, meloen. Smaak / Afdronk: Aangename, friszure start met indrukken van meloen en peer. Een stoere Soave, enerzijds goed herkenbaar als Soave maar dan wel met een bovengemiddelde concentratie en dikte. Algemeen / potentieel: Fijne Soave, aangenaam aperitief maar zeer geschikt als begeleider bij frisse gerechten en vis. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 14 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 88/100
Colour: Medium straw yellow Aroma / bouquet: Subtle, fresh aroma with impressions of flowers, ripe pear, melon. Taste / Aftertaste: Pleasant, fresh and sour start with impressions of melon and pear. A tough Soave, on the one hand easily recognizable as Soave, but with an above-average concentration and thickness. General / potential: Fine Soave, pleasant aperitif but very suitable as an accompaniment to fresh dishes and fish. 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / Bouquet: 11 + Taste / Aftertaste: 14 + General / Potential: 8 = 88/100

Ordered off pub wine list, which turned into multiple bottles given the wine's straightforward, crowd-pleasing excellence. Plenty of mineral drive, fruity and floral, yet also something broad, ample and almost savoury to add complexity. Extremely food-friendly.

Candied lemon, poached pears and peaches, yellow flowers, delicate touches of spice, vanilla cream. In my book, this is one of Northern Italy's best whites. Especially when you look at the price tag and the accessibility.

Cafe Carducci (Cafe Carducci, Verona): Lifted aromas with wonderful ripeness showing tropical and lemon notes. Chalky textured that becomes more oily in the mid-palate, exhibiting richness, this is an intense wine with flavours of mango and a long finish.

Barolo and Barbaresco 2014s at Terra Rossa (Terra Rossa, London N1): Straw yellow. Nose shows yellow fruits, it's dry, quite linear, and very quaffable - although don't look here for energy and excitement.
