About
Soave Classico old vines from the volcanic hills — far from the watery supermarket version. Garganega-driven: stone fruit, almond, distinctive mineral cut from the volcanic soils. Bone dry, built for the table.
Le Battistelle comes from the Soave Classico hills of Veneto, where old vines grow in volcanic ground. Garganega sits at the centre of the wine, bringing stone fruit and almond rather than simple sweetness. The fruit's stony edge keeps the palate dry and firm. Old-vine material gives it extra weight through the middle.
This is a white made for the table. Its modest body and bright freshness suit grilled fish, fried seafood or salty antipasti. Chill it well, but not so cold that the savoury mineral character disappears. Drink it while the fruit is youthful and direct.
