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.

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.

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. Racy finish. Drink now through 2026. 9,000 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Review
The 2019 Soave Classico is fruit-forward and fresh, with crushed yellow apples and honeyed white florals lifting from the glass. 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.

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.

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. Drink now through 2028. 9,000 cases made, 500 cases imported.
