The tank-fermented and aged 2001 Soave Monte Grande exhibits gorgeous notes of almonds, lemons, grapefruits, and a hint of minerals. Fresh and light-bodied yet surprisingly flavorful for its delicate yet well-nuanced style, it is an example of a top-notch producer turning out better and better Soaves that make a mockery of the industrial swill that comes from some huge firms.
