Antica Torre del Roccolo
Breganze, Vicenza
“Rosso del Roccolo”, Veneto Rosso
SKU TRRO
The terroir of the domaine shines through in this wine, which, unusually for the region, maxes out around 12% ABV. As with the Bianco and Bregantio, the Rosso is a field blend of all the red grape varieties grown at the domaine, including Negrara, Cabernet Savardo, Tyrolese, and Marzemino (a close cousin of Teroldego and Refosco dal Pedunculo Rosso). The nose is floral and plummy, with a freshness that reminds us of the area’s proximity to the mountains. Our allotment was a mere 60 bottles from the 2018 vintage.
About Antica Torre del Roccolo
Given how little wine is made here, it was pure luck that we chanced to open a 2016 Antica Torre del Roccolo Bianco with dinner one night at Osteria al Cicheto in Venice, where the owner has built an excellent list of terroir-driven wines from his home region.
