The 2007 Soave Vigneto La Broia shows off a gorgeous, crystalline purity in this vintage. White peaches, smoke, and minerals are woven into a mid-weight frame of remarkable elegance and purity, with terrific depth, focus and energy. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
Roccolo Grassi is one of Veneto’s most exciting young estates. Proprietor Marco Sartori makes elegant, perfumed wines that are easily enjoyed with minimum cellaring. Sartori favors a shorter period of drying for his Amarone fruit than is the custom at many of the region’s other estates. He is also among the producers who decided not to bottle his 2005 Amarone. The 2006 Amarone, tasted from barrel, is highly promising at this stage. Along with Stefano Campedelli of Marion, Marco Sartori is one of the most talented and inspired young producers in Valpolicella, with seemingly no ceiling as to where his passion and drive will ultimately take him. Simply put, I can’t recommend these wines highly enough.
