Tasting- La Cappuccina

Name:  La Cappucina

Variety:  Soave

Region:  Veneto

Country:  Italy

Year:  2011

Price:  $7.95

VC 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 notes:  It is very yellow in color and the bouquet is floral and fruity.  But the sweet bouquet does not translate into taste.  It is very light, crisp, and smooth.  I can definitely get some of the almond flavor noted above.  I wish I had known a little more about wine back when I was traveling around Venice, Verona, and Vicenza because I probably had many Garganega-based wines like this.
