2022 Pieropan La Rocca Soave Classico
£32.00
“The only oak-inflected cuvee at the estate. Aged in 100% used tonneaux, both French and Slavonian. Superb aromas of pistachios, peaches and dried mangoes. Broad and expansive, yet funneled into a vortex of tension by freshness that sublimates any sense of obvious power. A wonderful expression of a warmer vintage that suits perfectly this compelling site.”

Product Description
Pieropan’s estate covers 35 hectares of vineyard, all of which are situated on the stony hills of Soave Classico in the north-east corner of Italy. The Pieropan family have been producing wines in Soave since the 1860`s and work from three organically farmed vineyards today. They were the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label in the early 1930`s, and this well-known wine made from the Garganega grape remains their speciality, along with a small production of Valpolicella they release each year.
La Rocca single-vineyard is situated on the slopes of Monte Rocchetta, behind the Medieval Castle which dominates the town of Soave. The vineyard benefits from a special microclimate which makes it possible to obtain a wine with a great personality, and a unique and unrepeatable bouquet. Innovative since it’s first release in 1978, it has made its mark in the area, becoming an undisputed symbol of quality and tradition.
