I love northern Italian whites, and Anselmi is one of the forerunners of quality whites from the Soave region (though he uses IGT Veneto rather than DOC Soave). Founded in 1948, the winery has 70 ha of vineyards in Monteforte d'Alpone, high in the hills between Soave and Monteforte, near Verona. This expressive Garganega/Chardonnay/Sauvignon Blanc blend carries almonds, wild herbs, honeysuckle and tropical orange along a waxy palate, one finely textured with broken stones. Nimble acidity keeps this light for all its concentration. Excellent value.
