A certified organic wine, the Coffele 2020 Soave Classico Alzari (made with 100% Garganega with some oak aging) shows a slightly waxy texture with orchard fruit, honey and preserved lemon. The Garganega grape has this beautiful quality in which it spreads softly and shows mid-weight textural density to the palate. This warm-vintage expression does exactly that. Some 10,000 bottles were released.

The pretty 2016 Soave Classico Alzari shows crisp lines and direct intensity with aromas of citrus, white peach and honey. The wine is tonic and clean with a snappy approach that would pair with vegetables in fresh basil pesto dressing.

The 2012 Soave Classico Alzari is gorgeous with thick viscosity and a pretty golden color. The wine is composed of 100% Garganega, of which 40% is air-dried into raisins. The wine shows pretty tones of ripe fruit, spice and dusty mineral. It ages 10 months in oak. This Soave Classico should hold for the next few years making it a longer-term drinking proposition compared to your average Italian white wine.

The 2011 Soave Classico Alzari is made from late harvest fruit, 60% of which is pressed fresh and 40% is pressed after 40 days of appassimento. The results are gorgeous, with bountiful aromas of exotic fruit, apricot and honey. The silky finish ends with a pretty touch of crushed mineral. Drink 2013-2018.
