Rating Vintage 2022

James Suckling 95/100

“A serious and very precise Soave with subtle citrus aromas and notes of orange blossoms, hay and crushed stones. Fine-tuned and focused, with a medium body and fine texture. Tangy and tense with a gentle phenolic touch and hints of lemon peel and ginger at the end.”

James Suckling 94/100

“Honeyed, white-almond and mineral accents to the lemony citrus and cantaloupe. Pure and tangy on the palate, with a hint of honeydew melon that lingers through the bright, long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.”
