Sourced from vines grown in pink limestone soils rich in clay and chalk, this Corvina-based blend is aged for 18-24 months in French oak. It shows bold dark fruit, black pepper, cloves, spice box, dark chocolate and vanilla, with a dash of balsamic adding character.

This Soave Classico shows Garganega at a richer register, combining lemon, lime, pear, peach and tropical fruit with honey, almond, toast and gentle oak. Lees aging brings a creamy, velvety texture, while bright acidity and a nutty finish keep the wine lively beside sushi or richer seafood.

The first single-vineyard created here, in the late 18th century. More black soil than in the Soave Classico. This is very good, meshing the inherent ripeness of the vintage with a mineral-infused pungency. Green apples, quince and stone fruit. Yet the feel is linear, cool and taut, with a growing trajectory of fruit sweetness across the long, energetic finish. A pithy exclamation to close. Drink or hold. Score - 94.

Four years of aging in 90% tonneaux and 10% barriques, with an additional year in bottle before release. The oak is smart, serving to compress the sweet cherry fruit while lending an accent of savoriness. Finely wrought tannins that are still etched with wood but refined. This will find its place with patience. Cooler sourcing from the eastern zone of Ilasi, a limestone-dominant terroir that is increasingly becoming a great source for fresh reds. Drinkable now, but best from 2028. Score - 95. (Ned Goodwin, MW, jamessuckling.com, April 15, 2024)
