La Cappuccina Soave

La Cappuccina
Garganega
2011
$7.95
Soave
Italy

Winery Review: Bright straw yloow 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.

Personal Review: Floral scents floated up from this wine, and those aromas could also be tasted on the tip of the tongue. Lemons and perhaps honeysuckle were dominant flavors, and the wine was quite heavy-bodied for a white, which was unexpected. Overall it was a little bitter and not as good as the smells suggested it would be.
