Le Battistelle "Battistelle" Soave Classico is a refined and expressive white wine produced by the Dal Bosco family in the heart of the Soave Classico region. Crafted entirely from Garganega grapes, "Battistelle" comes from steep hillside vineyards located in the Monteforte d'Alpone area, where the volcanic soils and unique microclimate impart depth, minerality, and complexity to the wine. The Dal Bosco family is known for their dedication to traditional methods and their commitment to showcasing the terroir of Soave. On the nose, "Battistelle" Soave Classico offers an aromatic bouquet of white peach, ripe pear, and lemon zest, accompanied by floral notes of acacia and a distinct minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with lively acidity that balances the ripe fruit flavors and gives the wine a vibrant, refreshing character. Flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a subtle hint of almond lead to a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks to the volcanic origins of the vineyard. "Battistelle" is a beautiful expression of Soave Classico, capturing both the elegance and the unique character of the Garganega grape. It reflects the dedication of the Dal Bosco family to their vineyards and their passion for producing wines that express the true essence of their land.
