With a little oak aging on it, the 2011 Soave Classico Monte Alto is a gorgeous and exciting wine that offers lovely softness and suppleness. The bouquet is richly redolent of apricot, exotic fruit and a touch of toasted vanilla. I especially liked the dusty mineral tones that so beautifully distinguish this wine as Soave Classico. The low price makes it even more commendable. Drink 2013-2017. Ca’ Rugata is an excellent producer of Soave Classicos. This year, the Monte Alto cru expression proved exceptional.
