Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
The 2021 Soave Classico Montesei from Le Battistelle is a total pleasure from start to finish. An airy mix of sweet smoke, crushed yellow apples and lime zest form its bouquet. A pleasant inner sweetness greets the palate, as a stimulating blend of zesty acidity, minerals and candied citrus adds a lovely contrast. The 2021 finishes remarkably clean and fresh, begging for another taste.(Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023)
