Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Serea	JS - James Suckling	96 Points	2015	04/2023 Review The cedar riffs of French oak segue to bitter cherry, raspberry bon bon, alpine herb and Pastis, marking the finish. This is a slick, contemporary Amarone on one hand, without pushing any buttons of winemaking intrusiveness, on the other. Another red here that reminds me of a ripe, chunkier Pinot. Beautifully transparent, deft of touch with chiffon like of structure. I like the style. The oak, used to beautiful effect. 'Medium drying' of the fruit (2 mths),in a highly ventilated mountainous setting, is the key. This mitigates any malevolent botrytic development. The end result is floral, lifted, juicy, sappy and while concentrated, so very fresh. Drink or hold.
Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Serea	VS - Vinous	93 Points	2015	03/2023 Review Dark and smoky in the glass, the 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Serea smolders up with a blend of grilled herbs, crushed ashen stone and dried black cherries. This is velvety-smooth, nearly glycerol in feel, with depths of saline minerals to balance. Rosemary hints toward the close o!set an opulent wave of ripe red and black fruits. The 2015 finishes dramatically long and spicy, with a bump of residual acidity that adds a completely unexpected yet welcome freshness.
Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Serea	DC - Decanter	95 Points	2015	06/2023 Review Though better known for their exceptional Soave, brothers Claudio and Sandro Gini also produce red wines from their Tenuta Scajari at Cazzano di Tramigna. Their Amarone Monte Serea is a youthful ruby colour with smoky grey/violet shadings. Very scented, it displays aromas of dried and candied fig, cranberry, cherry and orange peel. Full and ripe with sure-footed, lush flavours of fresh and dried fruit, its lovely acidity helps maintain impressive freshness, while a gentle, nuance finish enhances this really stylish wine. Delightful.

Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Scajari	VS - Vinous	92 Points	2010	01/2021 Review The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Scajari lifts up with a refined display of black cherries, lavender and white smoke. With coaxing, it blossoms further, adding depths of exotic spice and purple-tinged flowers. It’s silky and pure with a savory display of pure red fruits and inner herbal tones, as cooling minerality collects toward the close. There’s wonderful symmetry here, tapering off remarkably fresh yet also with a coating of fine tannins, which should carry the Scajari for another decade or more in a cool cellar. That said, don’t come here looking for a powerful or extroverted expression of Amarone, because this is all about elegance and poise.
Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Scajari	WS - Wine Spectator	93 Points	2010	10/2018 Review A rich undertow of wood smoke and loamy earth accents the flavors of dried raspberry, Earl Grey tea, espresso cream and date in this well-knit, medium- to full-bodied red. Fresh and focused, with fine-grained tannins firming the spiced finish. Drink now through 2027.
Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Scajari	WS - Wine Spectator	93 Points	2011	03/2023 Review A lovely, expressive red, with a fragrant nose of cured tobacco and forest floor transitioning to flavors of black cherry reduction, soft fig, anise hyssop and mineral on the silky palate. Reveals fine-grained tannins that are supple and well-meshed, with juicy acidity driving the long finish of sweet fruit and spiced orange peel. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta. Drink now through 2031.
Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Scajari	VS - Vinous	94 Points	2011	03/2023 Review The 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Scajari is brooding and backward as a whi! of freshly shaved pine gives way to black currants, earth tones and a lifting hint of camphor. This floods the palate with silky textures and opulent red fruits, all nicely contrasted by brisk acidity and a core of salty minerality that adds tension. The Riserva Scajari leaves the mouth aching with youthful structure as grippy tannins saturate, and a primary staining of concentration is left lingering. This massive Amarone Riserva is built for the cellar.
Gini	Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva Scajari	JS - James Suckling	94 Points	2011	04/2023 Review This address excels with styles that respect tradition, while pondering better, fresher approaches. A longer drying period (still only three months to others' six). Menthol, cherry liqueur, saturated darker fruit allusions with dried porcini dashi to camphor. A meld of admirable freshness and power. Drink or hold.
Gini	Camillo Metodo Classico Tradizionale Millesimato	VS - Vinous	91 Points	2013	01/2023 Review Sweet florals and lemon zest accentuate crushed green apples as the wickedly fresh 2013 Brut Camillo blossoms in the glass. This is energetic. Crystalline bubbles and a core of vibrant acidity perfectly o!set its ripe orchard fruits. It leaves a pretty inner sweetness and candied lime hints while finishing remarkably fresh yet potent. The balance here is gorgeous. The Camillo is a sparkling blend of Garganega, Chardonnay and Pinot Nero. Disgorged: 2023.
Gini	Pinot Nero del Veneto Campo alle More	JS - James Suckling	91 Points	2015	08/2019 Review This is rather ripe with lots of dried herbs, but the raspberry coulis and spices are quite elegant. Full-bodied and round, yet showing a savory edge. Drink now.
Gini	Pinot Nero del Veneto Campo alle More	JS - James Suckling	93 Points	2018	04/2023 Review Limestone soils with ample clay, planted at 10,000 vines/ha. a la Burgundy. Within the eastern Valpolicella zone. Red fruits, bing cherries, bergamot, a somewhat darker brood than Burgundy as we once knew it, but offering a firmer, more savory and almost ferrous expression than a typical Pinot from, say, the New World. avory marked tannins and a finish of camphor, smoked meat and the carnal whiff of autumnal leaves. Liminal and intriguing. This is excellent, exciting, idiosyncratic by virtue of its obscurity and yet so good. It will make for mid-term ageing and
Gini	Recioto di Soave Classico Col Foscarin	WS - Wine Spectator	92 Points	2011	08/2020 Review Fragrant notes of jasmine and honeysuckle lead to rich flavors of apricot pâte de fruit, praline, honeycomb and candied ginger in this juicy, lightly mouthcoating sweetie. Lush and creamy on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2028. 580 cases made, 250 cases imported.
Gini	Recioto di Soave Classico Col Foscarin	JS - James Suckling	98 Points	2016	04/2023 Review Among the greatest sweet wines in the world. Let's get that straight. Only equalled by Germany. There is density and concentration sure, but the drying process of the grapes evinces an uncanny phenolic authority as much as the altitude of the vineyard sourcing and saline tendency of the volcanic soils, impart freshness. Despite the generosity of quince paste, torrefied almond and the bitter orange marmalade pithy finish, this is akin to an electric toothbrush whirring through the mouth and sweeping the sugar away to the point of palpable dryness. Brilliant!

Gini	Recioto di Soave Renobilis	JS - James Suckling	95 Points	2013	05/2023 Review A blaze of honeysuckle, orange blossom, glazed quince and the tropical realm of mango skin and pineapple chunks, attest to the botrytised material at the core of this cuvee. Luscious and bright, with tamarind acidity curtailing any excess while dragging the fray to impressive length. Far from cloying, it is brilliantly balanced on the precipice of OTT, without falling down the wrong side of it. Not as savory, moreish and complete, however, as the standard recioto.
Gini	Recioto di Soave Renobilis	GR - Gambero Rosso	2 Points	2016
Gini	Sauvignon del Veneto Maciete Fume’	GR - Gambero Rosso	3 Bicchieri	2016
Gini	Sauvignon del Veneto Maciete Fume’	VS - Vinous	90 Points	2016	06/2019 Review Bright pale straw. Very lemony nose also hints at green figs, white flowers and sage. Then gooseberry and vanilla custard flavors emerge with aeration and complicate the fresh citrus notes in the mouth. Finishes long, zingy and suave. A very refined wine of noteworthy purity.
Gini	Soave Classico	VS - Vinous	90 Points	2011	02/2022 Review The 2011 Soave Classico is in a beautiful place in its maturity, as hazelnut gives way to honeyed florals and hints of tropical melon. This is round, pliant and rich but also vibrant, with a salty flourish that introduces its ripe orchard fruits. This tapers off remarkably fresh and floral. I don't believe that holding the 2011 will improve it any further, yet there's also no fear of decline.
Gini	Soave Classico	VS - Vinous	91 Points	2016	02/2022 Review A captivating combination of tomato leaf and dried herbs initially wafts up from the 2016 Soave Classico. With time, hints of smoke and ginger join the mix. This is silky-smooth, yet lifted and juicy, as lemon-tinged apples and pears give way to pretty inner florals. It tapers off long and concentrated, with residual acids that keep the mouth watering for more. It's amazing to think that this is Gini's "entry-level" Soave, and with six years of maturity that have imparted unexpected depths.
Gini	Soave Classico	WS - Wine Spectator	90 Points	2019	03/2021 Review This light-bodied white is crisp and minerally, with a zesty thread of ground spice and grated ginger winding through mouthwatering flavors of Honeycrisp apple, pink grapefruit sorbet and a hint of lemon thyme.

Gini	Soave Classico	WE - Wine Enthusiast	92 Points	2020	11/2021 Review Hawthorn and orchard fruit aromas waft out of the glass along with delicate whiffs of botanical herbs. Creamy, crisp and savory, the elegant, dangerously drinkable palate delivers juicy white peach, grapefruit, slate and a spicy hint of ginger alongside tangy acidity.
Gini	Soave Classico	VS - Vinous	91 Points	2021	02/2022 Review The 2021 Soave Classico is remarkably pretty with yellow flowers, wet stone and freshly sliced pear. This is mineral and focused upon entry, with perfumed orchard fruits and a salty flourish that returns toward the close. Pear and peach skins resonate, as this tapers off lightly structured with an almost-herbal tea-like quality. The Classico is a blend of some of the region's top vineyards with an average vine age of 90 years.
Gini	Soave Classico	WS - Wine Spectator	90 Points	2016	11/2017 Review A lithe, light-bodied white, with racy acidity and a subtle streak of mineral, layered with nectarine, melon and pink grapefruit pith flavors. This is well-knit, with a lingering, lightly spiced finish. Drink now through 2020.

Gini	Soave Classico	JS - James Suckling	90 Points	2017	09/2018 Review Although this medium-bodied Soave has plenty of lemon-curd character, it has moderate acidity and is rather soft. A flexible food wine. Drink now.
Gini	Soave Classico	WE - Wine Enthusiast	92 Points	2017	11/2019 Review Yellow wildflower, exotic fruit and ripe pear aromas lead the nose. On the juicy, savory palate, a tangy mineral note energizes creamy white peach, Meyer lemon and honeydew, while a hint of white almond lingers on the finish.
Gini	Soave Classico	JS - James Suckling	91 Points	2018	09/2019 Review An attractive white with abundant aromas of cooked apples and pears, as well as lemons. Medium to full body. Lots of flavor. Dried fruit at the end. Drink now.
Gini	Soave Classico	VS - Vinous	91 Points	2018	06/2019 Review Vivid straw-yellow. Delicious aromas of herbs, lime, almond kernel and jasmine. Bright, dense and juicy, with a glyceral but vibrant mouthfeel and very pure flavors of green apple, pear and white peach. Finishes long and mineral. This is a knockout entry-level Soave that boasts sneaky concentration and extreme purity of fruit. Absolutely lovely and one of the better Soaves at this price point that I have memory of in quite some time.
Gini	Soave Classico	WE - Wine Enthusiast	92 Points	2018	08/2020 Review Racy and delicious, this refreshing white offers aromas of tropical fruit, spring wild flower and a whiff of dried botanical herb. On the savory palate, vibrant acidity brightens yellow apple, Meyer lemon and tangy saline before closing on a white-almond note.
Gini	Soave Classico	JS - James Suckling	92 Points	2020	07/2021 Review Intriguing nose with notes of gooseberries and apples and a hint of tobacco-like spice. Medium-bodied with a silky texture, plenty of fruit and a light phenolic feel as it progresses. Leaves a slightly salty aftertaste. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Gini	Soave Classico	WS - Wine Spectator	89 Points	2018	11/2019 Review This lively white is light- to medium-bodied and well-cut, offering a stony overtone that's layered with apricot and juicy blood orange fruit, with floral and spice notes.

It’s soft, verging on fleshy at times, while focused on purity, perfectly framed by saline-minerality. A hint of almond is contrasted by notes of lime and young mango that punctuate the expression nicely. This is very pretty and a fantastic value as well.
Gini	Soave Classico	WS - Wine Spectator	89 Points	2020	02/2022 Review A bright and well-meshed white that offers a pretty range of ripe yellow plum and nectarine fruit, with wet stone, ground ginger and almond blossom notes. Drink now. 9,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.
Gini	Soave Classico	JS - James Suckling	92 Points	2022	05/2023 Review The custodian of the oldest vines in Soave, a great many pre-phylloxera centurions, while the majority are circa 70-years-old. All tank fermented. Exemplary Soave classico, with white pepper, jasmine, glazed quince and peach pith, steely and dry, careening along a rail of saline mineral perk. Breadth, freshness, vinosity and phenolics, serving as a sheath of compression to the sheer intensity of the house style. Drink or hold.
Gini	Soave Classico	WS - Wine Spectator	91 Points	2021	08/2023 Review A well-cut, minerally Soave, with a tropical edge of passion fruit and dried pineapple, a base note of petrol and aromas and flavors of poached apricot, orchard blossoms and grated ginger.

This is silky, almost glycerol-like in feel and undeniably elegant with a pleasant inner sweetness, as ripe pit fruits are carried by juicy acidity. There's amazing length here, tapering off with dried pears, hints of iodine and an almondy richness. The 2010 is a perfect example of how well Soave can age. At ten years old, this is simply fascinating.

Gini	Soave Classico Contrada Salvarenza Vecchie Vigne	WE - Wine Enthusiast	95 Points	2018	11/2021 Review Made with fruit from extremely old vines planted in volcanic soils, this drop-dead gorgeous white opens with enticing aromas of cedar, yellow spring flowers, citrus and wild herbs.

It's silky, focused and perfumed with saline-tinged acids and ripe orchard fruits. This tapers off incredibly floral and fresh, as residual acids slowly fizzle out. The 2020 will require time to fully express itself.

This is a serious expression of Soave that is made from vines that are over a century old.

Gini	Soave Classico Contrada Salvarenza Vecchie Vigne	JS - James Suckling	95 Points	2020	05/2023 Review The oldest vines in all of Soave: pre-phylloxera centurions, many nearly 140-years-old. The vinosity, sap, mineral undercurrent and sheer persuasiveness of the package, attests to this. A tour de force. Sure, there is the usual crew of stone fruits, ginger crystal, jasmine, frangipani and sea spray salinity. Yet there is also textural persuasion, all chew and chomp, amidst a bowl of scented orchard fruits flecked with botrytised high tones of mango skin. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.

It displays wonderful clarity and poise while stimulating the senses with bright acids and minerals before settling on ripe orchard fruits. A twang of sour citrus and apricot resonates throughout the long and almost salty finish. I tasted the 2016 over the course of two days and it only got better each time I revisited it. The La Froscà matures in a combination of 80% steel tanks and 20% barriques, yet there’s not a hint of wood here.

It’s silky and pliant upon entry, yet it quickly gains energetic thrust through a mix of zesty acids and salty minerals. The palate literally buzzes with residual tension, as a tart note of Granny Smith apple completes the expression perfectly. This is simply stunning today, and it’s worth cellaring over the medium term as well.
Gini	Soave Classico La Froscà	WE - Wine Enthusiast	95 Points	2018	11/2021 Review One of the iconic wines of the denomination, this gorgeous, polished white opens with enticing scents of yellow stone fruit, summer wildflowers and hay along with a whiff of wet slate. Elegantly structured, the delicious palate doles out ripe apricot, white peach and tangerine drop candy before a savory—almost salty—almond finish. While it's wonderful now, it will continue to evolve and age beautifully for years. Drink through 2030.

Gini	Soave Classico La Froscà	JS - James Suckling	95 Points	2013	05/2023 Review This is an astounding wine, enveloping the palate with an umami warmth defined by bergamot, ginger, quince paste and porcini dashi. The mid-palate has depth, energy and multitudinous layers, like a slinky spring going down steps as it expands and recoils. The finish, exceptionally long. Drink now.
Gini	Soave Classico La Froscà	JS - James Suckling	93 Points	2015	05/2023 Review Porcini and marzipan, with quince, truffle, dried straw and ginger. Wonderful freshness akin to biting into the ripest tangerine imaginable. The finish, sappy, crunchy and very long. Another outstanding expression from this stellar address. Holding up really well. Drink now.
Gini	Soave Classico La Froscà	JS - James Suckling	94 Points	2020	05/2023 Review 90-year-old vines on typically volcanic soils. Handled in large format oak, rather than the steel tanks of other properties. This confers a dried straw quality, not dissimilar to the scents of freshly laid tatami mat. Glazed quince, white pepper, jasmine and crystalline ginger, to boot. Wonderful intensity and spread of fruit, with the low sulphur regime playing a trump card of mellifluous drinkability. Drink or hold.

Gini	Soave Classico La Froscà	WS - Wine Spectator	90 Points	2020	08/2023 Review A tangy white that's chalky in texture, with an overtone of wild herbs and smoky minerality on the nose winding through concentrated flavors of steeped white raspberry, orange peel and warm spices. Racy finish. Drink now through 2028. 1,650 cases made, 100 cases imported.

Gini	Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline	VS - Vinous	92 Points	2013	02/2022 Review The 2013 Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline seduces with a heady display of maraschino cherries, sweet autumnal spices and dusty dried roses. While silky and finessed, there are depths of red berry fruits and chalky mineral tones, all enlivened by brisk acids. This leaves peppery violet florals and hints of raspberry while tapering off incredibly long. Le Mattoline is a serious step up from your average Valpolicella, and it has gotten even better since the last time I tasted.
Gini	Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline	JS - James Suckling	94 Points	2018	04/2023 Review Maraschino cherry liqueur doused with fennel, black licorice strap, hedgerow and sandalwood. The small portion of dried fruit imparts density, without overwhelming the sense of compression and freshness. This is an excellent, impactful wine of remarkable levity, despite the obvious weight. A long, sumptuous finish, not issimilar to a heady Pinot. This is very persuasive and thoroughly impressive. The sort of Valpo, bright, crunchy and translucent, that I love to drink. Drink or hold.
Gini	Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline	WS - Wine Spectator	91 Points	2013	10/2018 Review Wild cherry and pomegranate fruit flavors are accented by hints of eucalyptus, orange peel, anise and mineral in this well-meshed, medium-bodied red. Chalky tannins firm the lingering, spiced finish. Drink now through 2023.
Gini	Valpolicella Superiore Le Mattoline	WS - Wine Spectator	91 Points	2018	08/2023 Review Decant this bright, expressive red to allow an up-front note of ashy smoke to better meld and underscore ripe, juicy cherry, dried raspberry, loamy earth, bay leaf and eucalyptus flavors. Reveals fine, yet taut and chalky, tannins on the spiced finish. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta. Best from 2025 through 2030. 400 cases made, 100 cases imported.

Gini	Veneto Sorai	DC - Decanter	93 Points	2016	08/2019 Review This is a beautiful white with freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice, apple strudel, vivid apricots, as well as nougat and nutmeg. Medium body with a light sensation of oiliness and forthright acidity to match. Very balanced and deeply flavored. Drink now.

Gini	Veneto Sorai	VS - Vinous	90 Points	2016	06/2019 Review Bright straw-green. Almond flowers, chamomile, coriander and green apple on the pretty nose. Then fresh and juicy, with very good cut and clarity to the stony white fruit and floral flavors. Finishes long and minty.
