Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino 2010

8.0
WineSaint
Crushed rocks and white pith dominate this tightly wound Calvarino, with fleeting hints of jasmine breaking through the mineral intensity. The palate shows serious grip and tension, built on a foundation of volcanic soils that gives the wine its characteristic severity. This needs serious cellaring to unlock its potential. The fruit remains locked behind formidable structure. Revisit after 2020 when the elements should find better harmony.
