WINE DESCRIPTION
Roccolo Grassi La Broia Soave is a distinguished expression of 100% Garganega from the renowned Broia vineyard, spanning 1.36 hectares in the Soave appellation. Situated at an altitude of 100 meters with a southeast exposure, the vineyard boasts alluvial soils rich in limestone, contributing to the wine's distinct mineral character. The winemaking process involves fermenting 50% of the wine in 20-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels and the other 50% in concrete, followed by 12 months of aging on the lees and an additional six months in the bottle. This meticulous process results in a wine that is both elegant and complex, with a rich, textured palate. Roccolo Grassi La Broia Soave showcases the producer's dedication to quality and the unique terroir of the Soave region, offering wine enthusiasts a refined and memorable tasting experience.
