This wine sees a touch of barrique aging, and is to be prized for its crisp, nicely-textured, zesty, mineral-filled personalities. The light-bodied 1999 Soave Classico Calvarino exhibits notes of crushed sea shells, fresh almonds, and citrusy fruit. Drink it over the next year. This is an ideal aperitif wine.
