In the difficult, almost record high yield 2018 vintage, the straight Tamellini Soave earned the top score from Vinous – along with a $47 single cru.
But this stunning 2019, the product of a very low yielding “pristine harvest of classically balanced top quality wines”
Here’s Vinous on the 2018:
Luminous straw yellow. Varietally accurate and very pure aromas and flavors of white peach, yellow apple, white flowers and delicate herbs. Fresh and well-delineated, this finishes long with sneaky concentration. A truly outstanding Soave. This is easily one of the two entry-level Soaves of the vintage. Very well done. Mostly Garganega with a little Trebbiano di Soave.
The 2019, meanwhile, is even richer and more concentrated – yet only 11.5% alcohol.
