Description
"This single vineyard is situated in the Carbonare Cru, one of the most famous sites in the Classico zone. This vineyard contains so many old vines, up to 140 years old, a truly special plot. Unlike the Battistelle bottling from the Brognoligo Cru this site has a mixture of soils, heavily volcanic but a mixture of Basaltic, Iron and Tuff (soft porous rock). In fact a lot of the rocks from this site are very brittle, so easily worn down to powder form." - Importer Note
"The 2022 Soave Classico Roccolo del Durlo Viticoltura Eroica is delicate and youthfully coy, with a bouquet that blends crushed stones, salty sea air and suggestions of dried apricot and peach. This is a model of purity; soft, silken textures and fresh acidity guide its mineral-tinged orchard fruits as a hint of green citrus adds contrast. It finishes perfumed and remarkably fresh, lingering long on the palate with sour melon and minty herbal tones that resonate on. Deeply complex, I expect the 2022 Roccolo Del Durlo to thrill Soave lovers for well over a decade." - 93+ Points, Eric Guido, Vinous
