Pieropan
Soave Classico Garganega
Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
45th Anniversary, La Rocca, made from 100% Garganega and aged for 15 months in large French and Slavonian barrels. Bright golden lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, floral and oak notes, very rich and complex. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peach. melon and lemon zest with nutty vanilla flavors and lively acidity. Smooth and elegant the wine ends with toasty fruit, generous mineral notes and a bit of honey & spice. Nice!

Flew to Neverland today and lost the battle against a Lugana. I blame the food choice. Great wine. Just lacking balance. Acidity is a bit overpowering. Give it a year or two on the shelf.

Fresh, bright Soave Classico from the garganega grape. A spectacular white with Meyer lemon aromas, laced with citrus and mineral notes. Slight green herbaceous notes. What a nice find!

The 2020 Soave Classico wafts up with enticing notes of kiwi and sour melon contrasted by savory herbs. It’s deeply textural and round in feel, with a tart interplay of lemon and lime that’s nicely offset by a pleasant inner sweetness. There’s wonderful harmony here, as the 2020 tapers off with green botanicals and a flourish of minerality. This “entry-level” Soave Classico from Pieropan punches well above its price point. Since Pieropan makes three different bottlings, one from each tank, of their Soave, I thought it prudent to add the lot number for reference. (Lot# 26.10.21) (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)
