Pieropan
Calvarino Soave Classico Garganega Trebbiano
Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Opens up some with air but seems to be in a closed phase. Well balanced and richly textured. Probably needs a few years in bottle.

The most complex of the 3 we tasted that night. The nose and palate have a deep minerally core, wrapped in sappy, juicy yellow delicious apple and pear, and finishes with elegant white sweet flowers. Medium bodied in weight with a persistently clean and long finish. #pieropan #soave #garganega

Feb 25th, 2016Beautifully understated. Fresh stream, warm rocks, spring flowers. 30% Trebbiano di Soave with the Garganega. Tre Bicchieri this year.

Sep 30th, 2015The 2013 Pieropan La Rocca Soave
sets the imagination adrift to high altitude vistas, with delicate, breezy aromas of wild mint, resinous mountain air, white flowers, and white peaches. Crafted from 100% Garganega, it's golden-robed and silky on entry with bright, deliciously tart acidity delineating richer lemon curd and stone fruit notes. Pleasingly fleshy and full with a medium length finish tinged with sea salt. Really lovely. Sample

To much residual for my tastes. But still a nice Soave.

Excellent. I prefer this to La Rocca his top wine. Good weight and complexity. Lemony.
