Note di degustazione
Special commemorative label ‘ 45° Anniversario 1971–2016’. A classic vintage with a little more production per vine than usual. Certified organic by BIOS. A touch deeper straw-yellow than the 2021. Deep nose of peach, wax, chamomile and acacia honey. Complex and deep. Lemony and still a little subdued on the palate, yet taut, long, elegant and minerally. (WS)

Pithy, citric, sharp and tangily acidic. Skinny and sour. Having a bad day? (RH)
This wine celebrates its 45th anniversary (1971-2016) with this vintage. The 2016 Soave Classico Calvarino (a blend of 70% Garganega and 30% Trebbiano di Soave) is a beautifully bountiful and exuberant wine that bursts forward with stone and exotic fruit, with crushed oyster shell at the back. The wine delivers abundant complexity and depth, and this puts it into a category of its own as far as Italian white wines are concerned. Some 55,000 bottles were made.
