Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca 2010
White
Soave, Italy
7.5
WineSaint
Opulent and hedonistic, with concentrated apricot, honeyed stone fruit and warm spice flowing across a rich, textured palate. Extended lees aging delivers impressive weight and depth that transforms Soave's usual lean character into something luxurious. The finish is long and satisfying, though it lacks the structural backbone of Pieropan's more age-worthy Calvarino.
