I must admit I have shied away from Soave wines. Most of it is industrially produced wine for the quaffer market. Fattori is said to be a serious producer, focussed on quality, so I gave this a try.
Soave wines, from the Veneto region, are based on the Garganega grape. The Fattori vineyards are on basaltic soil of an extinct volcano, and on gentle slopes.
This 2020 Fattori Soave delivers green apple, and stonefruits over underlying citrus flavours. There is a slightly sweet mouthfeel, possibly due to some late harvest grapes included. This is balanced with some minerality on the backpalate. The finish is short. Overall, I found this wine well made, but a little simple.
Score: 88/-
