Scalette · Soave Classico DOC 2022

  This Soave Classico DOC is like a statue whose soul is already hidden within the raw material, waiting to be revealed. It hails from a distinguished Cru in the hills of the Veneto, where predominantly calcareous soils define the landscape. The limestone here is the decisive element: a soft, crumbly material that is easily shaped and gives the wine its fundamental identity. The geological nature of the soil translates directly to the wine—it feels seamless, malleable, yet possessed of enduring substance.

Just like the most graceful works of sculpture, this wine is characterized by an impressive gentleness. Its finesse is instantly perceptible on the nose, unfolding in a delicate bouquet of white flowers and fresh, white-fleshed fruits such as peach or pear. On the palate, it mirrors the 'softness' of the limestone: harmonious, never aggressive, and with an elegant texture that proves true greatness in wine often lies in quiet, artistic nuances. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
