#75 on 2008 Top 100; Lots of lemon white peach and mineral character with hints of orange peel and dry almond. Medium-bodied with good acidity and a crisp finish leaving a lingering citrus aftertaste. Racy nervy and delicious. Minerally almost flinty. Drink now. 6000 cases made. -JC

Suavia's 2007 Soave Classico shows the complexity and character of this hillside site in its ripe yellow fruits smoke earthiness and minerals. The wine was very closed and reticent at the outset so I recommend opening it 30 minutes before serving to give it some air. Alternatively a quick double-decant should do the trick. This is a generous full-bodied style of Soave that is sure to find many fans. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
