La Antigua Clásico Rioja Blanco Viura Blend 2013
Interesting and food friendly tasty Spanish white of 70% Viura 20% Granacha Blanca 10% Tempranillo Blanco. Minerals and white flowers right on nose and balanced acidity and lively texture on palate carrying through to finish. 12ABV. 14mo in 80/20 French American oak but no sense of any heavy handed use. — 6 years ago

Montresor – “Gran Guardia” – Soave Classico – 2023, Soave Classico DOC – Veneto – Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A classic expression of Soave made from 100% Garganega, showcasing the grape’s ability to deliver freshness, approachability, and subtle complexity. Sourced from the historic Classico zone, this wine offers a clean, crowd-pleasing profile that highlights balance over flash, making it a reliable and enjoyable everyday white.
Aromas & Flavors
Ripe pear, peach, and light tropical notes lead the profile, followed by hints of citrus zest, white flowers, and a soft almond nuance typical of Garganega. The fruit is present but controlled, never overpowering.
Mouthfeel
Light- to medium-bodied with smooth texture and balanced acidity. Clean, refreshing, and easygoing, with a gentle, slightly nutty finish that adds character without weight.
Food Pairings
Grilled fish, seafood pasta, risotto, light chicken dishes, fresh salads, or mild cheeses. Also works beautifully as a casual aperitif.
Verdict
A well-executed Soave Classico that delivers exactly what it should, balance, drinkability, and subtle charm. Not trying to impress, just quietly doing everything right.
Did You Know?
Garganega thrives in the volcanic soils of Soave’s Classico zone, which helps give these wines their signature combination of softness, minerality, and that subtle almond finish.
🍷 Personal Pick
One of those “why don’t people drink more of this?” wines, easy, reliable, and always a good call when you want something clean and crowd-friendly. — a month ago
