Babo Soave, Veneto IT 2023

Babo wines are made by Australian Justin Bubb (an honorary Italian who has spent the last decade making wine across the country) with the idea of utilising the best fruit possible to produce wines of elegance and purity. They offer exceptional value and are bottled under screwcap. Justin now resides for part of the vear in Tasmania (where he works at Pooley Wines) and part of the year in Tuscany. It’s another delicately delicious white: juicy and vibrant, full of citrus and flowers with touches of salt and wax and a lovely bright finish. Like all Babo's wines, it’s versatile and perfect for a crowd. It drinks well as an aperitif, but shellfish pasta or roasted asparagus (with plenty of Parmesan) would be our go-to.
