0-year-old vines on typically volcanic soils. Handled in large format oak, rather than the steel tanks of other properties. This confers a dried straw quality, not dissimilar to the scents of freshly laid tatami mat. Glazed quince, white pepper, jasmine and crystalline ginger, to boot. Wonderful intensity and spread of fruit, with the low sulphur regime playing a trump card of mellifluous drinkability. Drink or hold

The 2020 Soave Classico La Frosca is smoky with pungent florals and hints of tropical peach. This is round and enveloping, balanced by a core of saline-minerals and zesty citrus-tinged acids with vivid green apple fruits. It finishes long and lightly structured, reverberating with tension as a lime skin nuance lingers. The majority of La Frosca is refined in stainless steel for one to two years on the lees with about 20% completed in large casks.

A tangy white that's chalky in texture, with an overtone of wild herbs and smoky minerality on the nose winding through concentrated flavors of steeped white raspberry, orange peel and warm spices. Racy finish. Drink now through 2028.
