The wine

The Calvarino is pale straw yellow in colour with youthful hues. On the nose are lifted aromas of lemon, jasmine and elderflower. The palate is dry, beautifully balanced and elegant, with notes of yellow peach and lemon thyme. The finish is persistent with tremendous finesse.

Calvarino is the vineyard that first made the case for single-site Soave, and Pieropan keep the traditional 70/30 blend of Garganega with Trebbiano di Soave rather than the more usual straight Garganega. The grapes were hand-picked in two passes to catch each variety at ripeness, Trebbiano from mid-September and Garganega into October. After destemming they were gently crushed and pneumatically pressed, and the free-run juice fermented separately at 14 to 18C in tulip-shaped glass-lined tanks.

Pieropan

View all Pieropan wines

Pieropan is the historic first family of Soave, a name synonymous with the very finest expressions of this classic Veneto white. For four generations the family has set the benchmark for the region, proving that Soave can be one of Italy great, age-worthy whites.

The estate farms prized hillside vineyards in the Soave Classico heartland, including the celebrated Calvarino and La Rocca crus, on volcanic and limestone soils. Certified organic, the family works with meticulous care to capture site and vintage.

From the pure, benchmark Soave Classico to the profound single-vineyard La Rocca and Calvarino, the sublime Le Colombare Recioto and rare library Collezione releases, the range is a masterclass in Garganega.

Elegant, mineral and remarkably long-lived, Pieropan wines are the definitive statement of Soave, a true Italian classic.
