Le Battistelle, the mineral elegance of Soave Classico

A family estate in the heart of Soave Classico

Le Battistelle estate is located in Brognoligo, within the commune of Monteforte d’Alpone—the historic core of the Soave Classico appellation. Managed by the Dal Bosco family for generations, the estate stands out for its dedication to traditional viticulture and its focus on the native Garganega grape, grown on stunning volcanic hillsides.

Terraced vineyards on basaltic soils

The vineyards rise steeply along hillside terraces known locally as "marogne", a hallmark of the Soave landscape. Volcanic soils rich in minerals bring freshness, salinity, and tension to the wines. All vineyard work is done by hand, with great respect for the environment and a focus on soil vitality and biodiversity.

Garganega, the queen of Soave

The native Garganega grape is treated with utmost care at Le Battistelle, resulting in expressive, elegant, and structured dry white wines. Their cuvées are known for pure aromatics—white fruit, floral notes, and the smoky nuance typical of volcanic terroir. Aging on fine lees adds complexity and texture.

A style of tradition and precision

Free from excess, Le Battistelle’s wines offer a faithful reflection of the Soave terroir. Each plot is vinified separately to highlight its unique character. Aging takes place in stainless steel to preserve freshness, with occasional lees contact to enhance mouthfeel. The style is clean, vibrant, and deeply drinkable without sacrificing depth.

A rising star in Veneto

Le Battistelle is now recognized as one of Soave Classico’s most exciting estates. With consistent quality and deep-rooted respect for volcanic terroir, the estate is helping to restore the prestige of a historically overlooked appellation. A must-try for lovers of authentic, terroir-driven Italian whites.
