2011 Soave Classico La Rocca

The 2011 Soave Classico La Rocca is a gorgeous wine and every last drop should be savored. It displays an elegant aromatic embroidery of brimstone, pencil shaving, stone fruit, fresh nectarine and honeysuckle. No one element overshadows the others and the energy and freshness is remarkable. Mildly creamy fruit appears on the close. This is one of Italy-s most age-worthy Soaves. Drink 2013-2019. The Pieropan family makes impossibly delicious Soave Classicos and has set the benchmark for today-s Soave Revival. I can-t think of another Italian region that has reinvented itself so successfully. Sadly, my favorite wines - the Soave Classico Calvarino and the Recioto Le Colombare - did not make it in time for my tasting so I'll need to add those reviews later.
