Recioto Soave La Broia is a sweet, remarkable, and ambitious wine. Its color is a deep, nearly golden yellow. It is delicate on the nose, complex, with hints of acacia honey, citrus, apricot, dried fruit, toasted hazelnuts, which are all also perceived on the palate. In the mouth the wine is fat, powerful, sweet, with beautifully balanced sugar and acid.
100% Garganega. The grapes are harvested the third week of September and are naturally dried until crushing of the grapes takes place in February. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels and 24 months in bottles. 20% of the barrels are new and 80% are of 2nd passage.
This small estate, founded in 1996 and now run by Francesca and her brother, Marco, is comprised of two vineyards, Roccolo Grassi for red varietals and La Broia for white, totaling 14 hectares. From these vineyards they produce singular wines reflective of their unique terroir. They produce only one wine of each type and will not produce the Amarone or Recioto in certain vintages if the fruit is not up to their demanding standards. In addition, they keep the yields low in the vineyards, hand select only the best fruit, use natural methods in the winery, and allow for extra aging time in the cellar. This attention to detail results in beautiful age-worthy wines possessing elegance, balance, and truly distinctive character.
