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) — a year ago
Light and fruity, definitely the best Chardonnay I’ve had — 4 years ago
Ripe yellow fruits, some spices, herbs and minerality. Rather dense and concentrated with long finish. This is what Soave is about. — 6 years ago
I prefer reds, but this one is so robust it converted me! — 7 years ago
What I would call crisp. Dry white that goes down easy but refined enough to want to savor.A good bang for your buck! Perfect no matter what the temperature is outside aka perfect for a 60F February day, like today — 7 years ago
Superior intensity and full-bodied weight that will be more glamorous a year from now. Great acidity and always refreshing wine showing crisp apple, pear, lemon pith and smoky volcanic minerality that really settles on the tongue. Will definitely need to revisit this down the road — 8 years ago

This is a blend of garganega and Trebbiano they dry some of the grapes for this wine. Very good with a bit of bottle age. A very rich. — 10 years ago
Alex likes this one. Notes of pear, honey and citrus with slight minerality. Light and fresh. — 4 months ago
Dry and fresh. Slight rich. Citrus, pineapple. Slightly stimulated on my tongue. Quite good balance between fruitiness and acidity. 2021 @1980, Toscany JH, 230813-230815 — 9 months ago

Smells like honey, stone fruit. Taste highyl acidic, not too sweet, but with a sweet finish. — 6 years ago
Given its history, its story, and its rarity, I wanted to LOVE this, but as lovely and delicious as it is, it doesn’t measure up to the best Sauternes. Don’t get me wrong — I would drink it all day long, just not on my dime. — 6 years ago
Fruity and light with a juicy finish and nice acidity. Paired with pasta - cut through the heaviness of butter sauce beautifully! — 8 years ago
Liquid honey, deep golden, lightly fragranced — 8 years ago
Didn't get the spiel on this one -- seemed slightly leesy but dunno if that's the case — 10 years ago
The 2021 Soave is a charmer. Vividly fruity, floral and wickedly fresh on the nose, it blends candied lime and salty minerals with sour melon, all driven by juicy acidity. A tropical flourish appears as this tapers off with lovely tension. Enjoy soon to take advantage of its zesty character. $15.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2023) — a year ago
Nice. Peach and pineapple. — 6 years ago

Leggero, fresco, poco impegnativo, ma molto gratificante — 7 years ago
Yeasty, urine-colored bubbles, sunk thru the foamy sand. — 8 years ago
A strong white wine, perfect when you are torn between a white or red wine at the restaurant... — 10 years ago

Poured into a Boa decanter about 30min prior to service. The 2016 “Santa Chiara pours a brilliant, deep and slightly hazy copper gold color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with desiccated apricots, dried apples, yellow flowers, and curaçao. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium- tannins. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is super long and super amazing. This is such a wonderful bottle of Bea. When his whites hit, well…they really hit. Drink now with a short decant or over the next 3-5 years.
