Pieropan
Soave Classico Garganega
Soave, Verona, Veneto, Italy
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)

Grocery store adventures part 5. Ripe golden apple, tangerine pith, fresh almonds, honeysuckle nectar, saline, white pepper on the nose and palate. Refreshing juicy mouthfeel with a short finish but that pepper spice lingers a while. Very impressive for such a budget bottle

Underripe pomelo, lime pith and crushed gravel on the nose, such a silky yet bright and citrusy mouthfeel with a graceful almond skin minerality!! So refreshing!
