Description
The wine
Le Battistelle is the family's flagship vineyard in the Brognoligo cru of Soave Classico. The site is so steep that its dry-stone terraces earn it the label of 'heroic viticulture', and some of the Garganega vines, trained on traditional Veronese pergolas, are up to 100 years old. The soil is basalt, a dense volcanic rock. The grapes are hand-picked, fermented in tank for about 20 days, then left on fine lees with regular stirring for up to 12 months. There is no malolactic fermentation.
Tasting notes
The most mineral of the family's Soaves, sometimes called their 'Chablis'. Expect lemon, almond and a salty, stony edge, with real depth from the old vines.
How to enjoy
Serve at 8–10°C. Try it with Valserena Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 36 months, La Tur Tre Latte or Olasagasti anchovies.
