The grapes were grown in the vineyard of 'La Rocca', which takes its name from the adjacent medieval castle and fortress ("La Rocca") that dominated the town of Soave, just east of Verona. Vineyards are located at an altitude of 200-300 meters above sea level and are south-west facing.The soil in La Rocca is unique in Soave in that it is a limestone outcrop (the same soil as in Valpolicella Classico) in a sea of basalt. Because of this soil, the family feels they get sufficient ripeness in the Garganega to make a wine solely from this variety. The vineyard benefits from a special microclimate, which in turn produces a wine with great personality. Innovative since its first release in 1978, it has become a definitive symbol of quality and tradition for the region. Vines are spur pruned and cordon trained and are 10 to 50 years old.
'La Rocca' is golden yellow in the glass, with intense, concentrated perfumes that follow through to the palate. On the nose, classic 'La Rocca' aromas of nuts and exotic fruits lead to an elegant and beautifully balanced palate, with notes of spice and a light minerality on the long finish.
