"Soave is extraordinary when it’s done right. On a recent visit to the area, I tasted a wine that blew my mind with its quality – Capitel Croce Soave made by Anselmi from a single vineyard of Garganega grapes in Monteforte. Part fermented in oak, it’s an amazingly rich and zingy wine with almond, pear, pineapple and a long, fresh finish. " Olly Smith, Mail on Sunday, 1st August 2011

The elegant concentration of this wine makes it an ideal choice to partner flavoursome fish, poultry, goats cheese and green salads.

Outstanding. The wine exhibits a straw colour and subtle vanillin and spice aromas are noticeable in the aromatics, a creamy texture, admirable finesse and complexity and a surprisingly fat concentration and length.
