Inama Vigneti di Foscarino Soave Classico 2021 (Case-Only Price)
94 Pts, Wine Enthusiast – 94 Pts, Tasting Panel – 93+ Pts, James Suckling – 93 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate
In the excellent 2021 vintage, Inama’s Soave Classico once again sets the standard with quadruple 93+ point ratings. Their Foscarino Soave Classico earned double 94-point scores – a feat usually reserved for Grand Cru Bordeaux or single-vineyard Napa Cabernets, not $25 Italian whites. The critics raved. Wine Enthusiast proclaimed, “This Soave shows why Garganga is one of the great white grapes of Italy.” James Suckling noted, “Another brilliant expression… the finish is impressively pliant and majestically long.” Parker’s Wine Advocate said simply, “This vintage hits the spot.” They’re all right – this is an electrifying white wine.

94 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Grown on the top of a dormant volcano, this Soave shows why Garganga is one of the great white grapes of Italy. The wine opens with apple and citrus blossoms with hints of acacia honey followed by fleshy white peaches, Fuji apples and well-defined minerality. The palate is creamy yet taut with fine acidity and tons of minerality accented by ripe stone fruits and citrus zest.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
Fresh orchard fruit, salted almonds, wet river stone, and white flowers. Saline-scented citrus, candied pear, and yellow apple appear on the rich, medium-bodied palate with tart makrut-lime acidity.
93 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
Showing beautiful aromatic intensity, the 2021 Soave Classico Foscarino pours from the bottle with soft orchard fruit, tropical tones and a distinctive mineral note of crushed oyster shell or volcanic ash. This wine has a pleasant creamy, mid-weight approach with more pretty fruit flavors on the close. This vintage of Foscarino hits the spot.
93 Points, James Suckling
Another brilliant expression, reflecting a culture of kaleidoscopic blending to attain a greater whole: tank and oak (no new) ferments, partly induced and spontaneous, all at once. Rapier-like precision, depth and weight, without any excess or obvious winemaking artifact perceivable. Mid-weighted, yet intense, reeling off notes of smoked almond, stone fruit allusions, pickled mango and kumquat. The finish is impressively pliant and majestically long.
The now-third generation of winemakers continues to build on their family’s 50+ year incredible legacy. Recently, Antonio Galloni of Vinous referred to them as “one of Soave’s, actually Italy’s, most important producers” and talked about the “state of constant evolution and experimentation over the past few years” that has helped turn these gorgeous wines into perennial powerhouses.
Their method is simple but undeniable, and apparently hard enough to replicate that they continue to shine brighter than any of their neighbors. The white grapes are picked fully ripe, gently pressed and then left to settle before a temperature-controlled fermentation and spontaneous malolactic fermentation. This is why these wines are both beautifully balanced and aromatically expressive. Minimal filtering, minimal interference – pure expression.
When others’ follow this, they can make pretty wines. But at Inama – these white wines aren’t just pretty, they amount to some of the most highly-rated whites in the world.
