Tasting notes
A zesty orchestra where Meyer lemons and lime peel play lead violin, backed by a chorus of crushed seashells. The performance hits every high note as citrus energy dances across a chalky mineral stage, building to a crescendo that makes you want to applaud. This may not be the family's calling card but do not be fooled, forget some in the cellar and you will be rewarded with one of the world's great aged wines at a value.

About this wine
Pieropan is a renowned producer of Soave Classico, a white wine that hails from the Veneto region of Italy. The Pieropan family has been producing wine in the area since the 1860s, and their dedication to quality and tradition has made them one of the most respected names in the industry.
The Soave Classico produced by Pieropan is made from the Garganega grape, which is known for its delicate floral and citrus notes. The grapes are grown on the hillsides surrounding the town of Soave, where the soil is rich in volcanic minerals and the climate is ideal for producing high-quality grapes.
The production process for Pieropan's Soave Classico is meticulous and time-consuming. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure only the best fruit is used. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve the delicate aromas and flavours of the grapes. After fermentation, the wine is aged on its lees for several months, which gives it a creamy texture and enhances its complexity. The result is a wine that is crisp and refreshing, with a subtle minerality and a long, elegant finish.
Pieropan also produces a range of other wines, including a Soave Classico Superiore, which is made from older vines and has a more intense flavour profile. They also produce a range of red wines, including a Valpolicella and an Amarone della Valpolicella, which are made from the Corvina grape and are known for their rich, full-bodied flavour.
Overall, Pieropan is a producer that is dedicated to quality and tradition, and their wines are a testament to their expertise and passion for winemaking. Whether you are a fan of white or red wines, Pieropan's range of products is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates.
