A nuanced yet complex blend of wildflowers, wet stone, sage, chalk dust and crushed pear emanates from the 2020 Soave Classico Monte Carbonare. It's elegant and soothing on the palate, with a perfumed mix of orchard fruits and tropical melon enlivened by juicy acidity. This finishes with a lasting concentration leaving notes of candied lime and honeyed inner florals to resonate on. What a beauty.
