The 2012 Soave is a fun and refreshing wine with easy citrus and melon flavors. Talc powder and brimstone add an attractively dry mouthfeel. The blend is 80% Garganega and 20% Chardonnay. Drink 2013-2014. The Allegrini family is one of the strongest pillars supporting the centuries-old winemaking traditions of the Valpolicella and the veritable renaissance those traditions are experiencing today. Until recently, winemaker Franco Allegrini was the driving force at the estate, but today his lovely sister Marilisa has become the face of the brand. Thanks to her tireless, globe-trotting promotional efforts, I’d definitely put Marilisa on a list of the top five ambassadors of Valpolicella. Importer: Winebow, www.winebow.com

Packaged in an attractively light and transparent bottle, this crisp and delicious Soave lives up to its image thanks to fine aromas of stone fruit, citrus and white flower. There’s a tight mineral note on the dry close.——M.L.(12/15/2011)—— 87
