DESCRIPTION
The wines from Soave are generally considered pleasant, uncomplicated quaffers, but Pieropan, one of the top producers makes wines that certainly buck this trend. The La Rocca vineyard produces quite distinctive Soaves which are full of exotic fruit and nutty aromas, soft on the palate with hints of spice and a minerally backbone.
Elegant and with a long finsh this can be cellared for drinking over the next few years.
Organic
PRODUCER
Leonardo Pieropan Azienda Vitivinicola
Pieropan's estate covers 58 hectares of vineyard which are situated on the stony hills of Soave Classico situated between Verona and Venice in North East Italy. The Pieropan family has been producing wines in Soave since the 1890s. Their current winery being in the town itself.
Being so synonymous with the area they were the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label in the early 1930s. Nino Pieropan took over from his father in 1970 and was the first producer in Soave to make a single vineyard wine, 'Calvarino', in 1971. Nino's two sons, Andrea and Dario, took over the running of the estate in 2017 when Nino fell ill and before he passed away in April 2018.
From the 2015 vintage onwards, all Pieropan wines are organically certified.
