Rating Vintage 2023

James Suckling 92/100

“Exceptional Soave Classico. White pepper, gardenia and chamomile notes. Succulent, juicy and mid-weighted, with mouth-coating glycerol juxtaposed against salty freshness. While a very warm vintage, the freshness of 2023 is striking in contrast to the more phenolic 2022. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.”
