Tasting - La Cappuccina Soave


Name: La Cappuccina Soave
Variety: Garganega
Region: Northeastern Italy
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Shop/wine critic/Winery Review: Bright straw yellow in color. Delicate on the nose, with notes of flowers and almonds. Dry, well-structured and delicately fruity, with hints of bitter almonds on the finish that is typical of Garganega-based wines.

My Review: This wine was a very light wine with a fresh feel.  It was not overly acidic and it was definitely not a heavy white.  I think best word is delicate, because it’s really nice as a sipping wine but having it with food would very easily over power it.  Overall, very nice starter wine and I very much enjoyed this one.

If food present, did it change the flavor: N/A

Drink Up!
