Pieropan Soave Classico Superiore La Rocca 2004

WineSaint

Candied citrus peel, white flowers, toasted almond and warm stone, this 100% Garganega from the La Rocca single vineyard has clearly absorbed its oak aging without being dominated by it. Full-bodied yet precise, with a richness that never tips into excess. The fruit is sweet-edged and generous, but an underlying mineral thread keeps it grounded and fresh. Beautifully composed.

Pieropan

Pieropan is among the most respected names in Soave Classico, long credited with demonstrating what Garganega can achieve when grown on the zone's volcanic hillside sites and handled without shortcuts.
