The 2009 Soave opens with pretty aromatics that meld into soft, supple fruit. Floral, minty notes add lift on the finish. The Soave is particularly successful in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
The Allegrini family has begun moving their entry-level Corte Giara line from a negociant winery to greater reliance on estate-grown fruit.
