Tasting - Fattori Runcaris Soave 2010

Name: Fattori Runcaris Soave 2010 Variety: Soave Classico Region: Soave Country: Italy Year: 2010 Price: $7.95 Winery Review: 86 Points – Wine Enthusiast

From the local Italian word for “to work the soil,” Runcaris represents an easy, fresh expression of Soave Classico with lingering aromas of citrus, yellow rose, honey, jasmine and dried herbs.

My Review: Bouquet of jasmine and white fruits. This wine drinks hot. I was disappointed in the lack of balance. Overall, I wasn't impressed by it and I don't think I will try it again. I did not pair any food with this wine.

Tasting - Fattori Soave Classico Runcaris

Name: Fattori Soave Classico Runcaris Variety:  Soave Classico Region: Veneto Country: Italy Year: 2008 Price: $15 --> $7.95 Winery review: Mineral, with slight sensations of yellow citrus and yellow pulp fruits. An interesting bouquet of fine herbs, fresh sage and nettle.

My review: Pretty greenish yellow color. Hints of grass and fresh herbs on the nose. Some citrus flavor, like the Luzon Blanco mentioned in my previous post, but I prefer this wine because it has a creamy quality to it. The vegetal tones make it a perfect drink for a hot summer day. I would definitely have this wine again. Unfortunately, I was not able to pair any food with it.
