I Stefanini
Italy (Veneto)
Garganega
2024
From the volcanic hills of Soave Classico, this is bright and expressive with ripe orchard fruit, citrus lift, and incredible length. A single vineyard cru from the estate’s oldest vines, there’s a brilliant mineral current here, running beneath those fruit notes. Approachable yet dimensional, this feels both familiar and elevated.
An ideal choice if you enjoy white wines with depth and texture, are seeking or into exploring volcanic expressions, or if you are a collector of classic regions.
90 Points, Vinous: “Nuances of incense and ginger shavings come together with a whiff of mint. It's soothingly round, displaying a pleasant inner sweetness offset by crisp mineral tones as a twang of candied lime swirls across the palate. This vintage leaves a citrusy tension that keeps the mouth watering as hints of tart green apple linger long. Lovely stuff.”
92 Points, WineAlign: “…a serious garganega with great potential for aging. More sapid than salty as compared with the Selese and yet the kinship between the siblings is more than obvious. Drink 2025-2030.”
