Pieropan Soave Classico 2023, 750ml

This is the freshest, youngest wine in the Pieropan family range. It is made entirely from fruit grown in their own vineyards situated in the Soave Classico zone and planted only with indigenous grape varieties.

A blend of 85% Garganega: and 15% Trebbiano di Soave, planted in volcanic soils facing west.

The grapes are destemmed and crushed with the free run juice fermented separately between 14-18°C in glass-lined cement tanks. The wine remains in glass-lined cement tanks on the fine lees for 5-9 months. In the spring following the harvest the wine is bottled and then released after at least a further month in bottle.

Tasting note:

the delicate nose is reminiscent of almond blossoms and marzipan; good depth of fruit on the palate, nicely balanced by a zingy acidity that enhances its long length.
