Last of ten bottles I got in 2020 at a great price. This was the best experience of a string of good experiences. It seemed to have taken on more weight and richness, without losing any of the floral character or acid balance. A delight.

pale lemon colour; shony, clear, very good. nose: there some citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) mixed with stonefruits (apricot); some minerality (chalk, limestone); when opens some banana notes appear and a touch of vegetal aromas (celeriac). taste: medium acidity; lemon, grapefruit, pomelo, peach; fruit is ripe and quite round; some soft floral aromas. medium (+) finish with white tea notes. In excellent shape!

Garganega 85 % Trebbiano di Soave 15%. 2017 was a hot vintage. 100% destemmed. Pale yellow color.Beautiful crisp and clean wine with lemongrass and Fuji apple. Very youthful. Previously had the 2000, 2001, 2008 and 2015 vintages and this was among the best. Just a pleasure to drink. 91-92 points.

Day 1, the fruit was holding back some. Better on day 2. Good mineral presence on the nose, followed by stone fruits.
On the palate, mineral, citrus, green apple. Medium acidity with long finish.

Age did this well. These are worth holding onto as they develop into something closer to what the Calvarino is capable of.
