Variety: Garganega
Region: Soave
Country: Italy
Year: 2011

Shop Review:
Bright straw yellow in color. Delicate on the nose, with notes of flowers and almonds. Dry, well-structured and delicately fruity, with hints of bitter almonds on the finish that is typical of Garganega-based wines.

My Review:
This wine tastes more like a traditional wine. Something like I would think all wines tasted like back in my ignorant days. But I did find it much smoother than most wines I had back then. The smell doesn't bring much of anything to mind. My first taste I found almost tasteless. My girlfriend decided to buy a bottle and I tasted it a second time. Again, I almost found it to be a smell-less tasteless wine. A hint of flowery smell and a slight grape flavor. This wine is easy to drink, very wet and smooth at first and quickly changes to a dry wine at the end.
