In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Straw-gold with greenish glints, this Garganega-led blend opens with aromas of almond blossom and soft citrus. The first sip reveals the mineral bedrock of Soave Classico's volcanic clay-basalt soils. Rounded fruit balances against clean, persistent acidity that invites the next glass. At 12% ABV with just 4.4g/L residual sugar, it's dry, crisp, and deeply food-friendly.

The Winery — Pieropan

The Pieropan family has shaped Soave for over a century, becoming the first to bottle wine under the Soave name in 1930. When Nino Pieropan took the helm in 1970, he pioneered single-vineyard expressions. Today his sons Andrea and Dario steward 58 hectares of hilltop vines across Soave Classico, each block aged between 6 and 60 years. The 2025 vintage saw steady vine health and cool nights that preserved aromatic lift. Hand-picked grapes (85% Garganega, 15% Trebbiano di Soave) were harvested across two staggered picks from mid-September to October, then fermented cool in cement tanks and aged on fine lees until spring—a patient method defining serious Soave craft. Organic farming and vegan certification seal a wine made thoughtfully from vineyard to glass.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Serve chilled alongside seafood pasta, clams, or simply grilled fish. It pairs beautifully with lighter antipasti and goat cheese, and shines as an aperitivo on warm evenings. This is one of the finest Garganega expressions available—bright enough for spring and summer, mineral enough for the table year-round.
