Inama Vin Soave Classico DOC 2023
Inama
Inama has been one of the key estates in Soave's quality revolution, proving that Garganega on volcanic soil can produce wines of genuine complexity and ageability. This 2023 vintage is drinking beautifully now—precise, mineral-driven, and effortlessly refreshing. A reminder that great white wine doesn't need to cost a fortune or carry a famous appellation.
Nose
Clean and bright with white peach, apple, and a citrus-blossom lift. Beneath the fruit, a subtle almond quality and chalky minerality from the volcanic soils of the Classico zone.
Palate
Crisp acidity frames flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and honeydew melon. A gentle floral note and saline mineral thread run through the mid-palate, adding dimension. The texture is lean but not austere, with just enough weight to feel complete.
Finish
Clean and refreshing with lingering citrus, a mineral snap, and a faint bitter almond note that keeps you reaching for the next sip.

Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur Blanc Terres Chaudes 2023
Domaine des Roches Neuves
Thierry Germain's biodynamically farmed Chenin Blanc from the Terres Chaudes parcel delivers a wine where the tuffeau limestone substrate is as much a character as the grape. Wood plays virtually no role here — the expression is all terroir, acid, and fruit. A white wine for those who believe restraint is its own form of generosity.
Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria DOC 2022
Donnafugata
Ben Ryé is Italy's most celebrated passito, made from Zibibbo grapes sun-dried on the wind-blasted volcanic island of Pantelleria. The heat of the African-influenced climate concentrates sugars, but Donnafugata's meticulous winemaking preserves acidity and freshness. A dessert wine that transcends the category.
Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé 2022
Domaine Leflaive
Domaine Leflaive's Mâcon-Verzé is a masterclass in value from one of Burgundy's most respected white wine producers. The biodynamic farming and careful winemaking bring a precision to Mâconnais Chardonnay that elevates it well beyond its appellation. For those priced out of Puligny, this is the door in.
Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume 2022
Domaine William Fèvre
This is essence before ornament made manifest in a glass. Where many Chablis producers chase richness or oak influence, William Fèvre's Fourchaume 2022 trusts the terroir to do the talking. The Kimmeridgian fossil-studded limestone shines through with uncompromising clarity. Alongside the issue's other selections — the unadorned honesty of Old Bardstown Estate, the single-estate purity of Tequila Ocho, the stripped-back integrity of Benromach Organic — this Chablis reminds us that the most eloquent wines are those that get out of the way of what the earth has already said.
