Liquorice and pomegranate plus strong hints of dark fruits. Amazingly juicy and spices. Full-bodied with tannins balanced by residual sugars. Definitely my taste. — 2 years ago

Pleasantly floral and fresh, the 2021 Soave Classico opens with a blend of spring flowers, lime and melon. It's silky and round on the palate, slightly oily in texture, with crisp orchard fruits and juicy acidity to balance. The 2021 tapers off with a lovely inner sweetness contrasted by a tinge of saline minerals. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023) — 3 years ago
