I had my first taste of this wine a month ago at an LCBO tasting event. Instantly, I knew I had to purchase it.

The wine had a delightful aroma of white flowers, melon, grapefruit, and seashells. Upon tasting it, I could detect the flavours of melon, peach, lime, and salt. It tasted like I had swallowed a mouthful of ocean water. The finish was long and satisfying.

Damn, it's been a minute since I've had a Soave. Not a lot of interesting ones making it to my market but this is the benchmark for entry level Soaves, so let's go!

Colour is palest yellow. Nose is a bit shy, doesn't draw you in right away, takes a bit of work. Reveals bruised apple/yellow pear, lime zest, and something nutty, maybe almond. Honeydew not prominent but it lays beneath, and juicy watermelon too.

Palate is laser-like, all sharp acidity, with decent flavour concentration. The lemon really takes over on the palate, and finishes with cat pee and some minerality (kind of flinty river rock thing?) adding a savoury edge. Length is medium.

Overall good for the price, complexity is pretty good and the structure is good enough. Went pretty well with both sushi and scallops. Looking forward to tasting one of their single vineyard offerings.

4/26/2024 - IV+ Likes this wine: 93 points

Apricots, honey and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Rather intense, medium+ bodied and silky on the palate. While this has good acidity, there’s a ripe fruit sweetness to this too. Medium+ length.

The wine is better on day 2, so it needs aeration.
Tropical fruits, melon, yellow apples, nice acidity and salinity. Very concentrated but slightly oxidised.
High quality Garganega.

In contrast to prior bottle, this was a bit past its prime. Dark yellow in glass, rich mouthfeel but noticeably flat nose. Aged citrus, toasted nuts, light honey palate, some acidity, so interesting and not over the hill, just lacking. Bottle variation, not built to age? Not enough experience with grape or this wine to judge, though prior bottle was four years ago, and Phenol73 note anticipated this turn of events.

First Wednesday Wine Club (Bella Puglia, Five Dock): "Served blind.
Peachy, rich, pretty, floral top notes, touch of sulphur, almost a little almond meal/marzipan. Juicy, tangy, similar flavour profile, a touch of texture. nice
For this I got as far as young Italian but couldn't convert from there."

Lemon citrus and something floral on the nose. On the palate, pear, lychee, and notes of lemon and something mineral, with strong acidity on the medium finish. This was a good value at about $30.

Subtle fruity nose. Medium bodied, dry, crisp, strong acidity, showing subtle orange zest and lemony notes with an oily texture and slightly bitter aspect. Very good. Had a glass as an aperitif at the veneto flight.

2021 Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca

Garganega more

4/17/2024 - Joshvoulters Likes this wine: 91 points

Soave & Brunello (Anima e Cuore): Intense and immediately appealing - grapefruit, smoke, expensive French oak, floral tones and oyster shell. It's quite exotic, with lime and mandarin. Broad, textural and juicy on the palate but it's clean and flowing - some chalky grip at the end, tempered by bright acidity. Not sure how I'd get on with a full bottle but I liked this as the most 'La Rocca-y' of a vertical, and as a full bore style you may as well enjoy it when it's big, young and full of life.

4/17/2024 - Joshvoulters Likes this wine: 89 points

Soave & Brunello (Anima e Cuore): Smoky lime, relatively subdued at first, with something slightly meaty and leathery on the nose. A rubbery tertiary quality too. With air this starts expressing sweet oranges, a ripe and pithy note. Smooth on the palate with acceptable acidity - appealing texture and finishes a little bitter and chewy. This was interesting and drinkable and, as a fellow taster mentioned, ticks many of the boxes of a big, ripe white Burg (or Macon) albeit in its very own style

4/17/2024 - Joshvoulters Likes this wine: 89 points

Soave & Brunello (Anima e Cuore): For my preference this is on the downslope- it has certainly shed some of its youthful exuberance - smoky and mineral, clarity to the pulpy peach fruit and gains a touch of richness with air. A rubbery tertiary quality - which seems to be a characteristic of La Rocca irrespective of age - comes to the fore here. It just lacks a little energy and the flamboyance that's kind of the point of this cuvee for me.

Mid golden. Pears, spices, apricots and minerals. This shows more vigor than the Calvarino. Long medium intense finish. Great food wine, but I enjoy it on its own as well. 95 points from Monica Larner, maybe a bit conservative for my palate. 5/13/18/10.

Rich aroma, fresh peach and peach candy, a bit of basil and green apple, and some blossoms. Light on the palate, with a tart attack and a long finish, some bitterness. Fairly straightforward, but quite pleasant.

Bottle a praise-worthy 1154g. Screwcap. Aromas of moderate intensity, lemon, pineapple, whiff of smoke. Dry, with moderate zippy acidity, medium-bodied, just 12% abv. Ripe yellow fruit, Meyer lemon, pineapple, quite saline. More the volcanic and limestone style of Soave. Lots of personality for under $20.
