The Pieropan family has produced wines in Soave since the 1890s and today, their estate comprises 58 hectares of vineyards planted on the stony hills of Soave Classico. In the early 1930s, they were the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label. Andrea and Dario Pieropan now run the estate, continuing their family’s traditions and passion for making outstanding wine.
Made from 85% Garganega & 15% Trebbiano di Soave. Grapes for this wine come from the hillside vineyards in the heart of the Soave Classico area and are located at an altitude of 100-300 metres above sea level and are west-facing, boasting clay-basalt soils that are volcanic in origin. The vines are between 6 and 60 years old and trained in both the Guyot system & the Pergola Veronese system. Grapes were hand picked, starting from mid-September. Fermentation took place in glass-lined cement tanks of 60,120 and180hl at 14-18°C. The wine then remained on its fine lees until bottling the following spring, with further ageing in bottle for a month before release.
Tasting Note: A straw yellow in colour, with greenish hints. It has aromas of almond blossoms and marzipan, with a touch of citrus. On the palate it is rounded and has flavours of ripe fruit perfectly balanced by a fresh, clean acidity that enhances its length.
