2024 Soave 90
Color: White Drinking Window: 2025 – 2028
The 2024 Soave opens with a sweetly scented bouquet of chamomile, Jordan almonds and crushed yellow apples. It is round with a gentle mineral tinge and crisp orchard fruits lifted by minty freshness. A twang of sour lime and green melon lingers while tapering off with excellent length.
2023 Soave Classico Monte Stelle 92
Color: White 92 Drinking Window: 2025 – 2029
The 2023 Soave Classico Monte Stelle mixes sweet spices with white smoke, crushed stones and nectarine to form its inviting bouquet. It is silky smooth with ripe melon tones and hints of lime, all supported by tantalizing acidity. The 2023 tapers off with a crunchy sensation, mineral intense, leaving nuances of candied lime to fade.
2022 Soave San Brizio 93
Color: White Drinking Window: 2025 – 2024
The 2022 Soave San Brizio is rich in the glass, with nuances of custard and confectionery spice complementing ripe yellow apples and nectarines. Fresh and lifted on the palate, it offers bright acidity and mineral-inflected pit fruit enriched by nuances of raw almond. It cleans up beautifully, leaving a salty flourish and a hint of gingery spice. The San Brizio spends about five months in 80% new Tonneaux, expertly integrated here.
2018 Rosso Campo Buri 92
Color: Red Drinking Window: 2027 – 2036
The 2018 Rosso Campo Buri is dark and intense, mixing shavings of Baker’s chocolate with cloves, cedar box, balsam herbs and crushed plums. Silken textures envelop the palate, offset by peppery herbs and floral tones as tart wildberry fruits slowly saturate. This wine drenches the palate in primary concentration, long and staining, leaving edgy tannins to resonate as hints of licorice and bitter cherry linger. The Campo Buri is a blend of Carmenere and Oseleta from vines planted in 1990.
2020 Recioto di Soave Arzimo 94
Color: Sweet White Drinking Window: 2025 – 2032
The 2020 Recioto di Soave Arzimo presents a deep orange-amber hue. It is deep, bassy, and rich, with confectionary spices, candied lemon, and vanillin custard forming its opulent yet surprisingly fresh bouquet. Noticeably sweet yet beautifully balanced, it features lifting acidity and crisp mineral tones that offset ultra-ripe apricot and hints of green melon. The 2020 cleans up nicely, minty and lively, exhibiting amazing length. A sour citrus twang keeps the mouth watering for more. This is an incredible value for a world-class dessert wine.
