Veneto, ItalySan Vincenzo comes out of the Monteforte area, near San Vincenzo Shrine, Veneto mixing 70/30 Garganega with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and assorted indigenous grapes. Anselmi stepped outside of the Soave DOC certification in 2001, citing quality issues with the consortium standards and set out to raise the image of the white wines of Soave under the IGT Veneto moniker. The nose is fresh with lively, tarragon, citrus, almond notes with creamy juicy textures that excite the palate calling for food. The finish is medium-rich with more mineral/peachy notes. West Coast mussels would be a good match.Tasted: 11 January 2022Tasted by: Prices:
Veneto, ItalyAnselmi is one of the forerunners of quality whites from the Soave region (though he uses IGT Veneto rather than DOC Soave). Founded in 1948, the winery has 70 HA of vineyards in Monteforte d'Alpone, high in the hills between Soave and Monteforte, near Verona. This expressive garganega/chardonnay/sauvignon blanc blend rings with peach blossoms, guava, almonds, honeysuckle and tropical orange along a medium-bodied palate, finishing with a dusting of sandy spices and bitter lemon. Lovely freshness and presence for its 12.5%.Tasted: 18 October 2021Tasted by: Prices:
