Soave Classico Pieropan 2022

From an expert blend of Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave comes Soave Classico, a fresh and young wine produced by the Pieropan winery, a historical reality in the area. It was in fact in 1890 that Leonildo Pieropan, a doctor from the town of Soave, decided to start trying his hand at wine production, starting from the family-owned vineyards. A path made of hard work and passion, which today sees in Leonildo, grandson of the founder, the figure who managed to make Pieropan a modern and technological winery; a cutting-edge structure, where the ancient farming traditions are never forgotten, however, but on the contrary they always represent the base from which to create authentic labels, just like this Soave.

Soave Classico is a DOC white wine that the Pieropan winery makes by adding 10% Trebbiano di Soave to 90% Garganega. Two traditional grape varieties of the area, which grow in vineyards of volcanic origin at an elevation between 100 and 300 meters above sea level. The carefully selected grapes ferment at a controlled temperature of 16 degrees in vitrified cement tanks, where they remain to age on the fine lees until the following spring, when bottling is scheduled.

This Pieropan-branded Soave Classico presents itself to the eye with a straw-yellow color, crossed by light greenish reflections. The scents that envelop the nose are very intense with a floral clean notes. On the palate it is slender-bodied, light, with a fully satisfying sip that has excellent flavor; it finishes with a finish characterized by a slight almondy aftertaste. It is a bottle with which the Pieropan winery expresses the younger, more dynamic traits of one of the most important DOCs in the entire Veneto region.
