The 2009 Soave Classico Monte Grande impresses for its textural depth and overall polish. Juicy red peaches, apricots and flowers are all woven together in a fabric of notable class and elegance. This is a fabulous, generous Soave to drink now and over the next few years. The Monte Grande is 85% Garganega and 15% Trebbiano di Soave aged in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. Pra does so many things well its hard to know where to start. All five wines I tasted were terrific. I can-t think of too many wineries in Veneto that excel to this degree with both whites and reds.Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907
