The 2022 Soave Classico Monte Grande opens with an intense, mineral-drenched bouquet of crushed stones, wildflowers and ginger-spiked green apples. This is a model of purity, with ripe orchard fruits and green melon tones complicated by savory herbs, all enlivened by a vibrant core of acidity. The 2022 tapers off exceptionally long and perfumed, leaving nuances of young kiwi and spice to linger. This complex, balanced Monte Grande has excellent cellaring potential.
