Pieropan 2022 Soave Calvarino

Winery Notes: “The freshest and youngest expression of Soave Classico that the Pieropan family has been offering on the market since the early twentieth century. A generous wine, pleasant for its freshness and versatility, it comes exclusively from proprietary vineyards located in the classic area of Soave and from traditional vines such as Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave.”

James Suckling 92 Points: “Brothers Dario, the oenologist and Andrea, the agronomist, are responsible for more than 70ha of proprietary vineyards across both volcanic and limestone sites, while championing the indigenous varieties, Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. Telltale aromas of white pepper, jasmine and ripe orchard fruit accents. While this is a blend from a litany of sites, each is vinified separately before blending. A fine smoky plume across an effortless, tenacious finish. A delicious, easygoing and highly fidelitous expression of the region. ”

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points: “This elegant wine is a classic and standard bearer of Soave. It shines with aromas of ripe Fuji apple, orange blossom, marzipan and lemon oil. Cool and crisp on the palate as if biting into a perfect apple, this wine shines with amazing textural depth and finishes with vibrant acidity.”

Robert Parker 91 Points: “The organic Pieropan 2022 Soave Classico (in a screw-cap bottle) is beautifully fresh and balanced with citrus, white peach and crushed stone. The aromatic assembly is simple, but that’s exactly what attracts you to a wine like this (made with 85% Garganega and 15% Trebbiano di Soave in cement tanks). It falls easily over the palate, refreshing along the way, reviving the senses and definitely inviting the next sip.”
