WineSaint
Candied citrus peel, white flowers, toasted almond and warm stone, this 100% Garganega from the La Rocca single vineyard has clearly absorbed its oak aging without being dominated by it. Full-bodied yet precise, with a richness that never tips into excess. The fruit is sweet-edged and generous, but an underlying mineral thread keeps it grounded and fresh. Beautifully composed.
