I’ve been writing about a couple wines from Soave lately and here’s another one that pretty good.
Like most Soave, this one is made from 100% garganega. It’s one of the brands from Cantina Di Soave.
The thing that really makes this wine stand out is how aromatic it is. There’s a floral quality on the nose that is just delightful. It’s one of those wines that I spend more time sniffing than tasting, although it tastes pretty darn good too.
Peach, violet, pear and melon aromas give this wine its pleasant and striking nose. The palate is very dry, with light peach, pear and mineral flavors. It finishes with flavors of honeydew melon drizzled with citrus. This is a very light, but pleasant wine.
