92 points. Fabulous aromas of apple pie, lemon rind, and lilies. Full body, with lots of fruit and a straw and floral undertone. Complex and wonderful. This is real Soave. A new benchmark? Drink now.
James Suckling The Wine Spectator Insider 20th January 2010
Gino Magnabosco makes several Soave wines on his estate in the rugged and steep area in the north of the zone. This, the Casette Foscarin, is a delightful example of what can be achieved when you put in some old fashioned hard work. The grapes aren’t harvested all at once but a bunch at a time when they’re ripe. They’re crushed and the juice macerated at low temperatures prior to spending six months in small oak barrels. The wine is drinking very well now, three years after harvest, with an intense fruitiness combined with hints of honey. Rich and mouthfilling, it’s a wine you’ll want to drink with food – ideally creamy pasta sauces or a tray of mixed seafood to share.
