2019 Cantine Pra Monte Grande Soave Classico Superiore, Veneto

Feminine with a sweet and sensual character, it offers notes of hawthorn, lime tree, lemon flowers, geraniums and acacia. In the background the herbaceous character recalls cut grass and bergamot in the citrus secondary profile. Full body, solid and structured in the center of the palate, it closes tense and vibrant. Better from 2022.

The minerality, which is the distinctive characteristic of this cru, gives this wine great elegance. An outstanding olfactory complexity of mature exotic fruit and yellow citrus fruits. On the palate it has good freshness with a long finish of sweet almond and vanilla. Thanks to its structure this wine has a good aging potential.

Perfect with shellfish and fish dishes as red tuna or seabass. Ideal served with quiche, seafood risotto and with meat roast.
