2019 Pra Staforte Soave Classico

Clean citrus and orchard fruit notes lead to lemon peel, yellow apple, and pear, with subtle floral and almond hints emerging as the wine opens. On the palate, the wine is dry and precise, driven by firm acidity and a layered minerality that reflects its hillside origins. The fruit remains just-ripe and restrained, balanced by saline tension that carries through the finish.

"Made entirely with Garganega grown in volcanic soils, this mineral-driven white opens with delicate aromas of smoky flint and botanical herbs with whiffs of stone fruit. The bone-dry, focused palate delivers yellow apple, lemon zest and tangy mineral notes suggesting oyster shell. Bright acidity keeps the wine balanced and energized. It cries out for food." 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
