Vintage 2021 | each time I drink this Gini Soave I am happy. It is beautiful: a good structure, minerality, lots of bitters. This is the first time my teammates recognized the Soave tasted blind. Also: honey, apple, butter, fudge and caramel. Paired the second day with a Thai Panang Curry. Not a great idea, the food was dominant. — a day ago

Opened well before dinner; from a 750mL. The 2003 pours an amber color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with crazy notes of candied orange, golden raisins, figs, dates, and wildflower honey. On the palate, the wine is sweet with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is forever long. Mesmerizing stuff. Drink now through ????. — 2 months ago

A step above a basic Soave. White fruit, some florals, great minerality, a bit of salinity, nice texture on the long linear finish. Excellent refreshing acid too. Nice wine and a good value. — 2 months ago

45th Anniversary, La Rocca, made from 100% Garganega and aged for 15 months in large French and Slavonian barrels. Bright golden lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, floral and oak notes, very rich and complex. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peach. melon and lemon zest with nutty vanilla flavors and lively acidity. Smooth and elegant the wine ends with toasty fruit, generous mineral notes and a bit of honey & spice. Nice! — 2 months ago

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The The 2020 Santa Chiara appears a deep orange color with notes of marmalade, apricot, flowers, and varnish (VA). The palate shows low+ tannin and decent acid. Tasty, complex stuff as usual. A lovely pairing with gougère of prosciutto, green olive and honey. Drink now through 2030-ish. Bottle No. 2814/5940 — 18 days ago
