Pleasantly floral and slightly herbal, the 2021 Soave II Selene opens with green apple, candied lime and sweet sage aromas. Soft and supple, with crisp acids, the Selese finishes long and full of tension, leaving traces of Granny Smith apple and a salty minerality. $13.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2023) — 3 years ago

Small red berries, black and white pepper, strawberry, hay, leather a bit too. Rather discreet but complex nose. The palate is a real treat. So long, so intense! A very strong acid backbone which makes for a dynamic mouthfeel. Strawberry and small red berries dance all around it. Some width and a smooth touch on the sides, a bit of tannins too to spice things up. There is something else in the texture like a layer of silk with a touch of tobacco, I don't know how to describe it otheewise. The finish is everlasting with the small red berries and a nice acid/bitter touch that make it very classy. It blends a grand Bourgogne touch with a dynamic and fruitful châteauneuf du pape distinction. What a wine! — 7 years ago

I rarely get to taste aged Soave, but thanks to one of my favorite wine bars in SF, I had the opportunity tonight. Why don’t I drink this region more often? Broad, flowing acidity match juicy pear and other orchard flavors. A rounded stoniness further adds to the intrigue. What a pleasurable start to the weekend. — 8 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Consistent throughout. The 2019 “La Rocca” pours a bright, deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe, squishy tropical and orchard fruit: pineapple, apricot, yellow flowers, nuts, saffron and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, elegant with a silky texture. This worked wonders with homemade Runza’s. This is a significant step up from the Soave Classico. Drink now through 2034. — 9 months ago

Ripe yellow fruits, some spices, herbs and minerality. Rather dense and concentrated with long finish. This is what Soave is about. — 8 years ago

Medium gold in color; peach, honeydew, and orange blossom on the nose; high acidity; tastes like tangerines, saline, and lemon with a long finish. Nellie and I like it. — 9 months ago

Top-notch Soave, complex and flavorful. This is a rich and bold white wine, so it will not be good for those looking for an unobtrusive Soave. Intense white fruit flavors, filled with cream and multiple fruits. Distinct lemon flavors throughout. — 4 years ago
