Tasting #5 - Soave

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

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: Pale yellow color. I smelled citrusy and floral aromas with maybe a hint of pear. It was a strong flavor right from the get go, acidic, and bitter with only a slight fruity taste. It was a little dry as well. I liked the wine 
but it didn't have a lot of taste to me.

This wine was not tasted with food.
