2025 Pieropan Soave Classico

Delicious pear and Jonathan apple fruits with a long, shapely finish.

The Pieropan winery is in the heart of the Classico zone and dates back to 1890. Leonildo ‘Nino’ Pieropan, who sadly passed away in 2018, was the first to show the world just how great Garganega, and Italian white wine, can be. He recognised the importance of terroir early on, acquiring various hillside vineyards and expanding the prestigious Calvarino and La Rocca vineyards, first made as single vineyard crus in 1971 and 1978 respectively.
Today, sons Dario (winemaker) and Andrea (viticulturist) continue the family tradition. The brothers have converted all of their vineyards to organic and are overseeing the new winery being built amongst the vineyards just outside the village. Made mostly from Garganega grapes with the inclusion of 15% Trebbiano di Soave.
Bright pale straw to straw colour with a watery hue. Nosing evokes aromas of pear and Jonathan apple skin followed by traces of quince and wet stone. Delicious pear and Jonathan apple fruits are fluid and well rounded upon entry with notions of quince, almond, wet stone and traces of saline sitting in the background. Excellent concentration with brisk acidity and a long, shapely finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
