Lovely family winery where they have the wonderful habit of bashfully keeping things to themselves, they are just outside the Classico region and therefore have had to be a little more circumspect in their pricing. So as Anselmi and Pieropan have produced wines that have revitalised the reputation of Soave so they have also been able to raise their prices as well as their game. Vicentini have gone about creating wines that have all the flavour and poise of their supposed superiors but have kept their prices to a reasonable scale.

As for bashfulness, when we first met them in Verona, we were just passing and noticed a tiny sign mentioning their 3 glass award. So we had a sip of their delicious oak aged Soave and loved it. We sat down, tried their unoaked and spritely entry level Soave and were fully taken. It was three months later and back at base that they let slip that they actually made a lovely fruity Valpolicella too. But we were looking for one of those too!
