Cà Rugate, Soave Classico (Veneto, Italy) “San Michele” 2016

($16): Not a single-vineyard wine, San Michele is the name. Cà Rugate’s San Michele bottling is a blend from several of their vineyards located in the Soave Classico subregion, the best area for Soave production.  More fruity than mineraly, it blossoms with air, befitting a young wine.  A delicate stone fruit character balanced by vibrant acidity comes through. It has lovely elegance and finesse for a “basic” Soave Classico.
