A consistent Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award winner across many vintages in Italy's top wine guide, Gambero Rosso. The highest accolade. This is, quite simply, one of the greatest Soaves we have ever found. Il Casale is a single vineyard wine planted on sandy, volcanic loams this is a wonderful contrast the most famous Soave in the region, Pieropan. Il Casale is elegant wine, with citrus and stone fruit and faint, volcanic edge running through the wine. The palate is long, fine and super silky.

Even Jancis Robinson has recognised the outstanding quality of Il Casale when naming it her Wine of the Week and giving it a 17.5 Pts: "Pale straw. Strongly saline and smoky. Green fruits and citrus, very tight and crisp with a strong saline finish. Really crisp and smoky but chalky too, there’s friction but not grain. Fabulous intensity and length".
