Soave 'Broia' 2020
Soave La Rocca 2021
La Rocca, first made in 1978, is named after the medieval castle and
fortress overlooking the town. Made from 100% Garganega, grown on calcareous
soil (the only soil of its type in Soave) and harvested quite late. Following a
brief skin maceration, fermentation takes place in tonneaux before transfer to
20hl barrels, where it is aged on fine lees for one year. Intense, sunny yellow
in colour, the nose recalls ripe exotic fruit and roasted nuts, the
multi-layered palate is complex with
beautifully balanced richness and
outstanding length. Cellar life is 15 plus years and the wine is great with rich
seafood dishes, white meats such as rabbit, pork and chicken and mature
cheese.
