Suavia Monte Carbonare 2022

A serious and very precise Soave with subtle citrus aromas and notes of orange blossoms, hay and crushed stones. Fine-tuned and focused, with a medium body and fine texture. Tangy and tense with a gentle phenolic touch and hints of lemon peel and ginger at the end. 100% garganega. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2022 Soave Classico Monte Carbonare is smoky, with a whiff of gravel dust and savory herbs giving way to lime zest and a note of fresh spring rain. This boasts a lovely inner sweetness and attractively round textures. Nuances of candied citrus add dimension to a core of ripe orchard fruits. The 2022 tapers off long and perfumed. I love the generous nature of this succulent, fabulously balanced Monte Carbonare.
