2011 La Cappuccina Soave Tasting

Name: La Cappuccina Soave
Varietal: Garganega
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Vintage Cellar's 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:
The nose had apricot and herb aromas. Definitely tasted almonds which were balanced out by apricot and other fruity flavors. It was a bit acidic and had an extra dry finish. A cool fact to note is that La Cappuccina grows their grapes organically and this gives their wines a cleaner and crisper finisher.

Tasted without food.
