SANDRO DE BRUNO
Sandro de Bruno was founded in 2002 by Sandro and Marina Tasoniero. They farm 23ha organically on Monte Calvarina and produce classic Soave that is just as I want it to be: white and yellow field flowers on the nose with almond blossom and citrus and a bright palate with nice texture and beautifully integrated citrus and stone fruits. Monte Calvarina is an old volcanic cone and you will find the same exciting, intriguing aromas, tastes, and textures that you find in other volcanic areas like Etna, Ischia, parts of Alto Piemonte, etc. It is not easy to find this fresh, classic style anymore and even more difficult to find examples that are fairly priced, but the search is very worth it when you find a little winery like this. Sandro de Bruno is another great example of the mix of people, place, wine, and philosophy that are always looking for.
