31. Jan Tasting - La Cappuccina Soave



Name: La Cappuccina Soave
Variety: 100% Garganega
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy 
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

Wine Shop 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: This was my first Garganega wine, so I was interested in finding out what this would be like.  This was a nice bright yellow color and it had a tropical fruit flavor on the nose, kind of like pineapple.  It had a really mild almond flavor, and was noticeably dry.  Since this one was at the tasting, I didn't try it with food.
