Corte Carista Soave Classico 2024
$12, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Italy.

This wine is exclusive to Aldi stores in Australia.

Given the asking price this is an amazing wine. If you need a budget-friendly white wine this summer, then look no further; indeed, you probably should stock up. It’s textural, salty, citrussy, honeyed and floral, with excellent punch and indeed freshness. Italy is renowned for its red wines but its dry white wines are often excellent, if under-valued. If I was in an Aldi store and I saw this, I would not hesitate. 91 points.
