Excellent, full bodied, tasty. Some mineral at the end. At the Ritz for Xmas dinner.

상당히 진지한 수와베. 매우 풍성한 익은 서양배, 레몬, 조약돌. 약간의 페트롤 향이 리슬링을 닮았다. 견과류, 생강의 노트도 도드라진다. 과실의 집중도와 좋은 드라이 리슬링에서 느낄 수 있는 달달함도 특징. 가르가네가가의 잠재력을 극대화 한 느낌. 내 취향엔 너무 화려하지만 상당히 잘 만들어진 수와베.

Drank with friends at dinner with little time to make notes. Initial flavor impression was buttery, tending toward pears. One comment on the wine was "liquid butter". Acid was medium.

Clear medium light yellow. Medium intense nose, orchard fruit, pine nuts, and lemon nose. Much richer and viscous mouthfeel. The finish is oily and dry. My first time with this selection. Not as interesting as Inama Foscarino, but very good.

Light straw colour. Lifted, complex, honeyed aromas. Lifted, complex, honeyed, honeydew melon flavours. Rich though a trace short. At its peak.

Funny-looking bottle. Not much complexity on the nose with notes of flint? Quite minerality-driven on the palate, not much fruit. Instead, it has this oilyness that’s quite unique and has like a flinty aftertaste to it. Quite light and not that concentrated. Just tried it after a few days in the fridge. Wow, it really opened up. Smelled and tasted way more fruity character this time that’s dominated by tree fruit. On the nose it smelled more like apple juice …

Crowd pleaser and good review below from OCCASSIUSO. I can't add much.

Very heavy, squat bottle. Screwcap. Aromas of moderate intensity, a mélange of fruity, vegetal and earthy notes. Dry, with elevated fresh acidity, medium to full-bodied but only 12.5% abv. Rich, ripe fruit on the palate, more appealing than the nose, Meyer lemon and tropical fruit, mouth-coating and smooth, but that fresh acidity cleans it up. A vein of salinity flows through the long finish. Intense.

Light to medium gold color with aromas of pear, key lime, honeysuckle, white flowers, pine resin, and reductive notes of flint and struck match. The wine is big boned, full bodied but counterbalanced with bright acidity. There is a faint impression of salinity on the palate, maybe coming from the extended lees contact. Big and long finish with good complexity. Excellent bottle of wine!

Golden yellow in the glass with mild aromas of lemons and green apples. On the palate, a bit disappointing as flavors at front and med palate very muted. Acidity was modest.

Colore giallo paglierino, trasparente. Brillante e consistente. Sufficientemente intenso, sufficientemente complesso e fine. Al naso sentori floreale, minerale e fruttato: fiori bianchi, agrumi e mandorla. Gusto secco, moderatamente caldo e moderatamente morbido. Moderatamente fresco e sapido. Corpo pieno ed equilibrato. Sufficientemente intenso, persistente e fine. Pronto e sufficientemente armonico. Tipico.

100% Old Vine Garganega from volcanic hills. Woman-owned & woman winemaker. Med yellow. Med + ripe lemon, white peach, pineapple, honeysuckle, spice, wet stone. All stainless, w/ 12 mos. on the lees. Dry, w/ juicy ripe fruit overlying a slight phenolic bitterness. Med+ acidity & med alcohol (12.5%). Nicely balanced, w/ med+ to pronounced flavor intensity & length and creaminess. The minerality really comes alive on the finish. Drinking well now but should show well for many more years. Great …

This (L12005) is a great Soave with a great QPR, and only 12% ABV, will buy again. The wine is full of character and personality, with white fruit and floral aromas, a medium+ body, good acid structure and a very mineral mid-palate and finish. This can work for cocktails but is better with food.

This is a very cool wine. Ripe white fruits and dusty minerals are a wonderful contrast on the nose. Rich and lively, this wine really balances opposing elements nicely. Great flavor depth yet not heavy; fresh yet substantial. Wow. Alsacien-like in mouth feel. Serious value here for $25. (91)

[Restaurant purchase] very enjoyable soave; pear, some tropical fruit, typical Italian white bitterness in the medium finish

Very fine example of Soave - Italy's flagship "chardonnay killer". Nose of tropical fruits, pears and apples wrapped in oily, bees-waxy aromas. The fruit-forward palate mirrors. Mouthfeel is clean and an easy-drinking type of crisp. Light in body with medium density of flavor. Medium finish with a touch of mild spiciness. Best when well-chilled. *100% Garganega. *Suavia winery founded in 1982 by Giovanni and Rosetta Tessari; currently run by their daughters. *Suavia offers 6 wines: 2 Garganega Soave DOC, 1 …

This pleased me a lot today, more than on a previous occasion. Precise, fresh and with good texture and discrete notes of apple, as befits a Soave. Good food wine.

Fresh nose soft attack of blossomed pears with glacial acidity and a hearthy mineral finish. Pretty long for a middle of the road Soave! Nice buy for 9,- and a pleasure on a pre-summer night

Fresh Italo white with clear blossom and orchard fruits. Almond bitter lingers through and the acidic structure gives it a lot of freshness. Maybe a bit young, to young to show its depth and complexity? excepted more from this one.

Apple. Citrus - lemon + orange. Mineral - wet rocks. Slightly off dry. A very easy drinking white that's not too complex but also doesn't taste cheap. Great value.

Ein Wein fuer Cafes und Bars mit Schirmen und Tischen draussen auf einem alten Platz. . . . . . und so schmeckt der Wein: Kraeuter, gelbe reife Fruechte und Limetten.

I`m mainly more into more "northern style" of white wines, German Rieslings etc. but for example the stuff they do in Soave Classico is highly interesting. Nose is a bit subdued but fresh and grassy with nice florality with hints of flintyness. On the palate wine is surprisingly spicy with ripe tropical fruits, honey melon, pear. Enough acidity to give "Luft" for the fruit. Full-bodied. Spicy and honeyed finish. Good lenght also. 90

Having drank 90+% German Riesling in recent years when it comes to white wine, this wine is strange to me but I like it. It is soft, fruity, not much acidity, but somehow good balance between its 'body', which is of orderly weight and seriosity and a playful fruity character that makes it fun to drink. All in all I'd say this is a well made, high quality everyday's wine, something that is worthy of long conversations with good friends. …
