September 18, 2023 - Very cream, like cooked cream, aged on the nose. Dramatic long, but also smells aged, so I would guess more than have of non educated drinkers would reject it. A lighter and fresher vintage because of conditions at harvest. Long time sur lie, no new wood. These are the oldest vines in the region 130 years old. With some air coming up a bit more.

May 20, 2022 - This wine shows what Soave Classico is all about. I've lost my notes but I think that previous tasters had put it really well. Lovely wine!

December 28, 2021 - Last bottle of the 2014 vintage. Perfect right now. Big, bold, rich and oily but not in any way overpowering. Such a good value wine. Moving onto the 2016 now...

October 16, 2021 - Second last bottle and still holding up well. Deep golden colour in the glass with the beautiful and rich aroma. Full flavoured on the palate, rounded and super delicious. One of my favourite white wines and hard to be at this price. In a great place right now and unlikely to get better than this.
