Anselmi Capitel Foscarino 2021

Anselmi is one of the leading voices in Soave, and also an innovator as illustrated here where the classic local grape variety Gargenega meets Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc in quite a ripe expression for this label. There is stacks of fruit with honeysuckle and melon aromas plus a gentle layer of fresh passionfruit which come together to provide an exotic package. There is then enticing freshness and acid bite, before morphing into a mouthfilling package with savoury, nutty complexity to finish. A fascinating alternative to Italian Grigio.
