The palate is dry, beautifully balanced and elegant, with notes of yellow peach and lemon thyme. The finish is persistent with tremendous finesse.
Pieropan are famed for their two single-vineyard wines. The ‘Calvarino’ vineyard, owned by the family since 1901, is planted on the classic volcanic basalt of Soave Classico, while the ‘La Rocca’ vineyard is planted on the only limestone outcrop in the zone.
