Tasting Notes: The Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca is a captivating, single-vineyard expression of Garganega, offering an intense and complex aromatic profile of ripe golden apples, baked pear, jasmine, toasted almonds, and a delicate hint of acacia honey. On the palate, this full-bodied white wine delivers a rich, textured experience layered with notes of apricot, cinnamon, and nutmeg, culminating in a smooth, persistent finish driven by profound minerality and wonderful freshness.
Estate History: The Pieropan family is synonymous with Soave quality, pioneering the region’s move towards single-vineyard bottlings and organic viticulture. Established in 1860 by Leonildo Pieropan, the estate has remained family-owned for four generations, becoming a benchmark producer in northeastern Italy. They are credited with producing the first Soave made exclusively from a single vineyard, Calvarino, in 1971. Today, under the guidance of the current generation, the winery combines a deep respect for tradition with modern techniques to craft wines that are celebrated globally for their elegance and aging potential.
