La Battistelle ‘Battistelle’ Soave Classico 2023

Despite being a single vineyard and not a blend like the Montesei, there are similarities. Wildly complex, with white flowers, honeysuckle, lemon zest, grapefruit, white peach, orchard fruits and mustard seed. Deep and focused with greater amplitude and a peacocks tail of flavour and texture. The palate is at once succulent and light on its feet, supple and firm. There’s some spicy watercress which carries the length – minerals, sunflowers, lavender, honey – a purity that makes you want swim in a freshwater lake! Incredible wine, such immense presence without being hedonistic, concentrated or over-structured. Waters Wine Co
