Suavia Soave Classico "Monte Carbonare" 2022
(Veneto, Italy) - [JS 95]

About This Wine:
We always say that this wine "is like a bit of earth in a glass." And it's true. In the Monte Carbonare vineyard the vines sink their roots deep down into the black earth; pure volcano. This gives the wine personality: forthright and truthful, with a sharp mineral nature. It tastes of rain on flint, on the black stones of the dry walls, and of that good fragrance that the countryside releases when dampened by the first rain.

95 Points - James Suckling:
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. 100% garganega. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine (2021 Vintage):
There's a broad feel to the well-meshed flavors of yellow apple, persimmon, pink grapefruit sorbet and blanched almond on display in this elegant white. At the same time, this bright version is trimmed nicely by well-cut acidity, with a crackle of sea salt–like salinity. Accents of tangerine zest, jasmine and warm spices play on the finish. Drink now through 2031. 3,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
