2021 Cantine Pra Cru Monte Grande Soave Classico Veneto, Italy
$39.99 USD
Winemaker Notes
The minerality, which is the distinctive characteristic of this cru, gives this wine great elegance. An outstanding olfactory complexity of mature exotic fruit and yellow citrus fruits. On the palate it has good freshness with a long finish of sweet almond and vanilla. Thanks to its structure this wine has a good aging potential.
Perfect with shellfish and fish dishes as red tuna or seabass. Ideal served with quiche, seafood risotto and with meat roast.

Rated 92 Points James Suckling
" Ripe fruit on the nose, ranging from pineapple to gooseberry and a hint of snowberry. Medium-bodied with a gentle honeyed edge vying with stony minerals that color the finish. A sturdy Monte Grande. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap. "
Rated 92 Points Wine Spectator
"Offers a rich note of petrol on the nose, which underscores the palate's flavors of blood orange, pink grapefruit granita, blanched almond and white blossoms. This wine's generous, expressive profile is reined in nicely by well-honed acidity and a tang of salinity on the finish. Drink now through 2031."
