- It is an outstanding and complex wine of great finesse with richly textured crystalline fruit flavours and hints of pineapple and minerality on the long finish. This Soave shows great finesse and aromatic complexity, fine white floral aromas, peach and apricot notes, and a hint of spicy minerality. Harmoniously balanced on the palate, the richly textured fruit flavours lead to a long and elegant finish.
A careful selection of the grapes took place in the vineyard, followed by gentle pressing. The must was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at temperature-controlled conditions. The wine went through full malolactic conversion and was then aged for 12 months. 50% of the wine was matured in seasoned 22-hectolitre Slovenian oak casks and 50% in concrete vats.

Winery | The grapes come from within the 15-hectare estate in “Val di Mezzane”, between 200 and 300 metres above sea level. At Rocolo Grassi, they employ viticultural practices that are attentive to the environment and the terroir by supporting the natural cycles, the vines and their ability to express themselves. The vines are meticulously pruned, with attention paid to every plant, to limit the yields and allow each vine to reach optimal ripeness. In addition to the vineyard, the estate includes two hectares of woods, 1.5 hectares of olive groves and various fruit trees, which creates a unique ecosystem that produces healthy and high-quality grapes. The vineyards are made up of calcareous soils of alluvial origin, which are cool in temperature and provide good water drainage. Roccolo Grassi was established in 1996 by Bruno Sartori and his two children, Francesca and Marco. Based in Veneto, they produce wines of unique character and strong personality, which are expressive of their origins. Winemaker Marco Sartori is one of the hottest talents in the region. His philosophy is simple: yields in the vineyard are significantly reduced to obtain a fabulous fruit concentration. The 14 hectares of the vineyard are meticulously cultivated, and minimal intervention takes place in the winery to allow the characteristics of each of the crus to be fully expressed. The result is a collection of world-class wines distinguished by their pure elegance. |
