Monte Tondo, Casette Foscarin, Soave Classico, Veneto, 2009

Tasting: Soave

Bright pale golden yellow, Too oak dominated on the nose with honey herbs and a savoury note on the finish, but little fruit.

Tasting: Soave

Pale lemon gold. Toasty, pineapple and citrus aromas. Fresh, ripe and zingy with coconut and pineapple flavours. Good length and presence.

Tasting: Soave

Rather odd yeasty/fermenting vegetal nose. Rather better on the palate but finishes raw and bitter. Past it’s sell by date I would suggest. Drink quickly and cheaply.
