Pieropan Soave Classico DOC 2023

"Pieropan is one of the great names in Soave. The straight Soave is typically one of the great values in Italy" Antonio Galloni

"The value of Soave has improved tremendously, thanks to some dedicated, quality-conscious producers, including the most famous ones such as Pieropan, Prà, Suavia, Inama and Gini, just to name a few"  James Suckling
 
"You can’t speak of Soave’s greatest producers without including Pieropan. In fact, when this region was suffering a downturn in popularity due to the mass-produced and often-simple wines that had flooded markets, Pieropan managed to stay relevant, literally to the point that, today, their name has become synonymous with Soave. I was able to tour the new carbon-neutral winery, nestled into the hillsides of the region within sight of the renowned Calvarino vineyard, with Andrea Pieropan. One of the things I’ve always appreciated about this portfolio is not just the drastic difference between the two single-vineyard wines, but how they both impress in completely different ways. For the tension, structure and minerality, you can always look to the Calvarino, which is raised all in cement; yet for a richer, deeper expression, the barrel-fermented and aged La Rocca is always a sure bet. That said, the Soave Classico is typically among the top three to five wines in its category from year to year, and it achieves this at an amazing price point". Eric Guido, Vinous.com

85% Soave (Garganega) and 15% Trebbiano di Soave. A fantastic introduction to quality Soave.
