Tasting - Prime Brume Garganega
Name: Prime Brume
Variety: Garganega
Region: Soave
Country: Italy
Year: 2014
Price: $11
Winery 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.
Additional winemaker notes: I did not like this wine as much as the Blue. It was a little flat-tasting to me, and had a strong woodsy scent - not oaky. It also had an odd bubble gum scent to me. Not my favorite. I did not try this wine with food.
