Tasting - La Cappuccina Soave

Name: La Cappuccina Soave
Variety: Garganega
Region: Veneto (Sub-region: Soave)
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $7.95

The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Bright straw yellow in color. Delicate on the nose, with notes of flowers and almonds.  Dry, well-structured and delicately fruity, with hints of bitter almonds on the finish that is typical of Garganega-based wines."

My Review: I really liked this sweet, white wine.  It had an almost floral scent, but very delicate.  I picked up a slight almond fragrance both on the nose and palate, but an even stronger presence of honey.  It was a little bit tangier in flavor than I expected, what with the light aroma, and left an acidic aftertaste.

I tasted this without food, but I think it would pair nicely with a light dessert.
