More integration than 2021. Awesome and unique. Better in 4-5 years.

2012 - From the steep slopes of Brognoligo, in Monteforte d'Alpone, near Soave, Roccolo del Durlo is a Cru based on volcanic soils and basaltic stones. Two days of maceration on grape skins, smooth, good acidity, sapid, and a very, very long finish. Awesome wine.

"Cru" Soave Classico. Intense, mineral inflected wine with the weight of Burgundy yet more subdued aromatically. Could definitely be held a few more years. Delightful.

Lemon pine understated cheese and refreshing wet stone. Rustic but classy and understated.

Beautiful Soave. Stone and lemon. Mouth watering. Rich, almost oily mouth feel.

Olive and saline nose. Creamy and crisp on the palette. Great. Mineral driven.
