Tasting notes: the colour is bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose it is complex, with mineral and intense fruity notes of peach and dry apricot. There’s also a sweet spicy sensation of cinnamon and stone perceptions, coming from the tuffaceous soil. Typical of the Garganega are also hints of almond, which continue in the mouth. On the palate it is fresh, smooth, balanced and clean. An unusually fine Soave, Monte di Fice has a good structure, a nice minerality, and a long complex fruity finish.
