 Name: Monte Tondo Soave Classico

Variety: Garganega

Country of Origin: Italy

Region: Soave Classico, Veneto

Vintage Year: Not specified

Price: Approximately $15-20

Winery Review: Monte Tondo’s Soave Classico is a fresh and mineral-driven white wine with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and almond. It’s known for its elegant balance between zesty acidity and delicate fruitiness, making it a versatile wine for pairing with seafood and light dishes.

Wine Folly Reference: Soave, primarily made from Garganega, is known for its flavors of lemon, peach, honeydew, and saline minerality. It often has a crisp, refreshing profile with a slight nutty finish, making it a great pairing for Mediterranean cuisine.

My Review: Monte Tondo Soave Classico is bright, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. The nose carries citrus, green apple, and subtle floral notes, while the palate delivers a crisp minerality with hints of lemon zest and almond. It has a light body but a lingering, slightly nutty finish. This wine paired wonderfully with seafood and would be excellent with a creamy risotto. I enjoyed it chilled, and it’s definitely a wine I’d reach for again for a refreshing and easy-drinking white.
