Vinous
Review Date: 09/2025Wickedly fresh, the 2023 Soave Classico Roccolo del Durlo mixes chamomile with sage before giving way to crushed nectarines. This blends salty and sweet on the palate, displaying soft textures and masses of mineral-infused white pit fruits elevated by a twang of candied citrus. Saline, intense and full of zesty tension, this tapers off long and staining, yet still lively, leaving a sour twang that resonates. (EG)

Notes
Le Battistelle "Roccolo del Durlo" Soave Classico 2023 is a distinctive and complex white wine crafted by the Dal Bosco family, who are deeply committed to showcasing the unique terroir of Soave Classico. This wine is made from 100% Garganega grapes sourced from the "Roccolo del Durlo" vineyard, one of Le Battistelle's most prized sites, located on the steep volcanic hillsides of Monteforte d'Alpone. The vineyard's mineral-rich basaltic soils and optimal exposure create a wine of remarkable depth and structure. The 2023 vintage of "Roccolo del Durlo" presents a captivating bouquet of ripe stone fruits, such as white peach and apricot, along with aromas of citrus, almond blossom, and hints of wild herbs. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with bright acidity that provides balance and energy. The wine delivers flavors of pear, lemon zest, and a distinct minerality that adds complexity. The finish is long and refined, with a touch of salinity that reflects the volcanic origin of the vineyard. "Roccolo del Durlo" is an elegant and sophisticated expression of Garganega, highlighting both the richness and finesse that can be achieved in Soave's premier vineyards. It embodies the Dal Bosco family's dedication to traditional winemaking and their passion for producing wines that truly reflect the character of their terroir.
