  Very clean, pleasant nose of ripe pears, almond blossoms, white peach, wet rock, and fresh grass. Pleasantly rounded on the palate - though this cuvee sees only stainless steel - with fine balance from the prominent, citrus-driven acidity. Again plenty of ripe pears and orchard fruit, with prominent almond and mineral notes. Long, cleansing finish. Not the most complex wine, but easy-drinking and versatile. Outstanding value for the money, and one of the better whites from Veneto. I might even try to see how well this ages.

  Lunch with Anthony Genovese of Il Pagliaccio (Dolce Vita, Mandarin Oriental, Singapore): Not bad at all, this was a pleasant lunch wine that went very well with seafood. It had a nice white fruited character on the nose playing alongside a little earthy, mineral note, a touch of beeswax and just that floaty whiff of herb that was so very Italian. The palate was maybe a bit simpler than the nose promised, but was still eminently drinkable. It had nicely weighty flavours of white fruit and citrusy lemon notes wed to a good clarity of expression and a nice, fresh balance. A burst of warm spice on the longish finish then rounded the wine of pretty well. Quite nice.

  Nice, a bit of chalky minerality opening to medium bodied wine with pretty balanced citrus flavors. 89 points

  Un bon Soave bien fait et élégant. Sans l'amertume en finale que l'on retrouve souvent dans cette appellation.
  Nez et bouche de fleurs blanches et de fruits tropicaux. Une légère salinité.
  Très bon RQP.
