Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino 2006

WineSaint
Taut and mineral-driven, with striking intensity from volcanic Calvarino soils. The 70% Garganega, 30% Trebbiano blend shows white peach, dried herbs and citrus zest across a lean, focused frame. Needs serious air time to open. The structure here is formidable. Piercing acidity and stony length point to graceful evolution through 2012.
