Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca 2022
The vineyard ‘La Rocca’ is situated on the Monte Rocchetta hill, just below the medieval castle built by the Scaligeri family in the town of Soave. The microclimate in this vineyard produces wines with a unique perfume and distinctive taste. The grapes are picked when very ripe, often as late as the end of October, giving tremendous complexity and aromatic qualities to the wine, making it a wine of great breeding. The wine was first made under this label in 1978.

Colour

Brilliant and intense yellow with golden hints.

Bouquet

Characterful wine, reminiscent of exotic fruit and nuts on the nose.

Flavour

Soft and persistent on the palate, with hints of spice, length and elegance.

Pairing

Makes an excellent partner to complex dishes, even with strong flavours particularly risottos such as porcini, or celery, squash and almond, salt cod and other fish including salmon, scallops and crab.
