Clear light gold. Very nice mid weight nose showing honeysuckle, lemon and melon notes. Perfectly balanced floral and lemon flavours and a delicate finish with a hint of spicey oak in the end.

This is the 3rd Soave and it is aged in oak, 7 months, 60% big barrel, 40% in barrique.
I don't quite notice the oak, or not broadly. Lots of minerality here but not much floral. While I understand there is quite a lot more structure and intensity being pushed through I also think I miss some of the floral sweet aromatics of the basic wines.
