Bertani, Sereole, Soave, Classico, Veneto, Italy, 2022

This single-vineyard Soave Classico is sourced from vines on marl-limestone soils, and matured for around five months in large French oak. It has a fresh nose of melon and apple, with stony edges. In the mouth it combines honeydew melon sweetness with a lovely creamy note, finishing with some green fruits and a hint of papaya.
