Pieropan
La Rocca Soave Classico Garganega
Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
Brief notes. Citric acid - lemon; also almonds; ripe grapefruit. If tasted blind I might have called this a Semillon. I notice in my previous tasting note about 5 years ago I likened this wine to a Chardonnay. 5 years bottle age has changed things.

Beautiful golden hue. Ripe pear, lychee, Meyer lemon, crisp green apple, slight grass and a long finish for a lighter summer wine.

Best Soave I have had. Peach aroma and smoky but complex flavor.

Lovely young fresh taste, throntree aroma and a bit of a bitter almond aftertaste. Dry. Tastes great on its own or with fish and vegetables.
Love that it's stored in a concrete tank.
