Le Battistelle 'Montesei' Soave DOC Classico 2024

Le Battistelle 'Montesei' Soave DOC Classico 2024Le Battistelle's Montesei is a classic Soave from old vines on steep, south facing terraces in the Classico zone. Volcanic and clay soils give this wine its distinctive character. Hand picked and fermented in tank with no malolactic, it rests on fine lees for four months. Expect soft stone fruits, white florals, and the signature bitter almond finish that defines Soave at its best.
