Brief notes. Citric acid - lemon; also almonds; ripe grapefruit. If tasted blind I might have called this a Semillon. I notice in my previous tasting note about 5 years ago I likened this wine to a Chardonnay. 5 years bottle age has changed things.

La Rocca, made from 100% Garganega and aged for 15 months in large barrels. Bright lemon yellow with aromas of tropical fruits, floral, honey and oak notes, very rich and complex. On the palate flavors of pineapple, melon and lemon zest with nutty vanilla flavors and lively acidity. Smooth and elegant the wine ends with toasty oak, fruit, mineral notes and a bit of honey & spice. Nice!

Full bodied, beautiful golden color and honey aroma. Fruity and oaky, with a hint of vanilla. Paired well with vegetables, Branzino, and shrimp risotto.

I know Soave gets a bad rap. But I like it. Even at this price point.
