"Exceptional Soave from a producer firmly entrenched in the regional firmament. Perhaps this doesn't quite equal the majestic 2020, yet I have scored it by virtue of the pithy textural detail and salty, thirst-slaking finish. Drinkability in spades. Salted quince, tangerines and Boskoop apples. Long and dangerous. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"This Soave is a charmer, with aromas of bruised apples and yellow flowers and a touch of caramelized lemon peel that grab the attention quickly. On the palate, tastes dance across the tongue with flavors of McIntosh apple skin, peach and a squeeze of lemon that adds brightness and lift. A salty note emerges, like a whisper of the sea, along with a hint of preserved lemon that lifts the palate even more with each sip. Built to age, its flavors will evolve and deepen over time providing an experience worth the wait. Drink now–2045. — Jeff Porter"
