Review
The 2001 Soave Classico La Frosca makes itself known by mixing crushed pears with hints of raw honey and almond paste to create a seductive bouquet. This is round yet remarkably energetic, contrasting citrus-tinged apples against tropical inner florals and hints of custard. It tapers off pretty and remarkably fresh with nuances of ground ginger. This is incredibly pretty and balanced, also in no fear of decline. The 2001 is a pleasure to taste.

Review
The 2011 Soave Classico La Froscà is honeyed and floral in the glass, as sour melon and kiwi give way to a hint of lemon custard. Its textures are round, yet energy remains incredibly high through a core of saline-infused acidity. This becomes incredibly floral through the finale, adding an almondy richness ag the mouth waters for more.

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.

Review
A tightly packed Soave with aromas and flavors of dry lemon and loads of honeysuckle and lavender. Medium-bodied with well-balanced acidity, giving a very focused drive of fruit and saline minerals. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Review
The 2019 Soave Classico La Frosca wafts up with honeyed florals, ground ginger and hints of smoke. This soothes with its silky textures, while nervous acidity enlivens the experience and adds a cascading sensation to its mineral-tinged orchard fruits. There's so much concentration here. It leaves the palate caked in chalky minerals while finishing lightly structured. This zesty rendition of La Froscà will take some time to fully blossom, but it's packed full of potential.

Review
The 2020 Soave Classico La Froscà is smoky with pungent florals and hints of tropical peach. This is round and enveloping, balanced by a core of saline-minerals and zesty citrus-tinged acids with vivid green apple fruits. It finishes long and lightly structured, reverberating with tension as a lime skin nuance lingers. The majority of La Froscà is refined in stainless steel for one to two years on the lees with about 20% completed in large casks.

A lithe, vibrant white, with buoyant acidity enlivening the flavors of lime granita, crunchy white peach and wet stone. Lightly honeyed and mouthwatering, with hints of saffron and spice on the finish. Drink now through 2023.

Review
A rich, creamy Soave, with vanilla and spice hints accenting the glazed apricot, biscuit and pastry cream notes. Sleek acidity gives this definition and focus, creating a lightly mouthwatering impression on the smoke-tinged finish. Drink now through 2024. 1,650 cases made, 300 cases imported.

Luminous pale straw color. Intense aromas of almond paste, lime, white flowers and crushed rocks. Juicy and fresh, with extremely well-delineated pomaceous orchard and stone fruit flavors that are very pure and vibrant. A beautiful Soave Classico.

Review
The 2016 Soave Classico La Froscà is rich and alluring with notes of dried peach, sweet white flowers and honeyed almonds. 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.

Radiant and loaded with finesse, this stunning white opens with enticing scents of fragrant spring flower, acacia, white stone fruit and wild herb. The round, elegant palate is focused, precise and energetic, delivering peach, Bartlett pear, ginger and tangerine drop candy alongside bright acidity. It closes on a tangy mineral note evoking crushed oyster shell. A gorgeous wine. Drink through 2028.

Review
A vivid display of wet stone, kiwi, apricots and smoky minerals lifts up from the 2018 Soave Classico La Froscà. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
