A serious white that shows why Soave deserves your attention. This beauty opens with fresh white peaches and delicate flowers before revealing a fascinating smoky mineral note from those volcanic soils. The palate delivers sunny apricot and lemon preserves with a mouthwatering combination of crisp acidity and salty minerality. A wine that makes both wine geeks and casual drinkers happy.

The 2023 Soave Classico Staforte wafts up with nuances of mint and sweet smoke before giving way to freshly sliced nectarines. It washes across the palate with ease, soft-textured yet with a core of crunchy mineral tones and hints of sour citrus that add tension. The finish is fresh yet long, with a lime twist and salty resonance.

A refreshing white, framed by sleek acidity and a minerally underpinning, this expands nicely on the palate, showing flavors of yellow pear, star fruit, lemon thyme and milled white pepper that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2033. 1,500 cases made.
