Corte Mainente, Soave, Vigna Cengelle, 2024
Garganega with a little Trebbiano di Soave. From vineyards near the cellar with clay-limestone soils at the foot of the Classico zone. Fresh and vibrant but concentrated too. Not overtly fruity: subtle yellow plum and pear notes. Such a good all-rounder. Now-2028

Begali, Valpolicella Ripasso, La Cengia, 2022
Full bottle 1,125 g. Made from dried grapes by specialists in Amarone. "Mid rust-ruby. The concentration is there but this is an appetising, dry wine that might just go perfectly with our duck-based Chinese takeaway with hoisin sauce. There’s an impression of slight sweetness and spice. One of the better examples of this style I have encountered. Delightful freshness on the finish.
