Name: Prime Brume Garganega 
Variety: Garganega
Region: Soave
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $11

Critic Review: Pale color. Fruity, floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy, bone-dry medium body and a smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long, crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes. -91 -Tastings.com

My Review: Light gold color. Sweet flowers on the nose with subtle aromas of tropical fruit. The palate was very floral as well, as I tasted rose petal and violets. Grapefruit also came through on the palate with crisp acidity. A dry wine with a strangely long, lingering finish that seemed sweet. Not a bad wine, but I would choose to pair this with food instead of drinking it alone. 

I tasted this without food.
