No, this is not your innocuous, cheap grocery store Soave. Here is a wine that could sit at the table next to a refined, textured medium bodied white Burgundy. A wine that shifts the paradigm of what is possible in Soave when the approach is passionate, deliberative, and intentional. You get world class wine. If you are looking for an anonymous crispy $13 Soave this ain't it.
The biodiversity at Balestrivalda is next level: the property is the opposite of a chemical laden vineyard devoid of life. Mixed in with the vineyards you will find numerous woodland trees, ancient fruits, and a full blown apiary.
