Reviews
- "93 points. Cellar Selection. Aromas of yellow field flower, spring blossom and whiffs of wet flint form the nose. The elegant, linear palate boasts great energy, offering lemon drop candy, graphite and bitter almond alongside vibrant acidity. Drink through 2026." (Wine Enthusiast)
- "91+ points. You get great value with the 2016 Soave Classico Vigneti di Foscarino. This is a pure expression of Garganega (with 40,000 bottles made) that is both fermented and aged in oak. That six months of barrique has developed the wine's natural structure and the generous sense of volume that it shows in the mouth. Apricot and passion fruit are followed by almond and light saffron spice. Serve it with a chicken dish and a side of baked fennel with bechamel. Drink date: 2019 - 2024." (Wine Advocate)
