A vivid blend of wildflowers, yellow apples and ground ginger forms a captivating bouquet as the 2021 Soave Classico Monte Grande blossoms in the glass. This is round and supple, with cooling minerality and fresh acidity, adding wonderful lift as ripe pit-fruits and minty herbal tones resonate. A tinge of lime and a salty flourish add lovely punctuation as the 2021 finishes long and staining yet graceful and floral. What a darling.

Aromas of an elegant bouquet of white blossoms, crushed stones and ripe apricots. Its palate elegantly navigates between a silky texture and a vibrant acidity, culminating in a flinty minerality that captures the essence of the Soave landscape. Drink now–2035.

Offers a rich note of petrol on the nose, which underscores the palate's flavors of blood orange, pink grapefruit granita, blanched almond and white blossoms. This wine's generous, expressive profile is reined in nicely by well-honed acidity and a tang of salinity on the finish. Drink now through 2031. 1,250 cases made.
