WineSaint
Dried apricot, wood ash, warm spice and dried florals, this has the layered, contemplative character La Rocca delivers in its better years. The texture is generous and creamy without feeling heavy, held together by a clean mineral thread that keeps the wine from drifting into softness. The finish lingers with quiet authority.
