Pieropan Soave Classico 2023
93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This 2023 release is right on the money. It’s crisp, it’s bright, with pure fruit expression, and a minerality that Wine Enthusiast describes as “so deep that you might as well be in a quarry.” What makes this wine magical though is its ability to continue to improve with age – something rarely expected from Italian whites at this price point. Wine Enthusiast suggests it will drink beautifully from now through 2040, offering nearly two decades of enjoyment!! At today’s price, this represents one of the greatest white wine values from Italy.
Original price was: $24.00.$20.95Current price is: $20.95.

Every year Pieropan captures the soul of Soave, Garganega and the vintage in such a pristine way that it keeps us in awe. This vintage shines with aromas of Fuji pears, Anjou apples, lemon blossom and flint. The palate is crisp with green apple skin and lemon zest flavors that give way to toasted almonds, acacia honey and a minerality so deep that you might as well be in a quarry. Drink now thru 2040.
The Pieropan family are legends in Italy. Their winery has been around since 1860 and sits in the heart of the old town of Soave. Their secret ingredient to success is their three single vineyards, integral and historical backbones of the appellation itself that have made the most interesting, age-worthy whites in the entire region. Their Soave is considered the benchmark of what this vast region has to offer.
Calvarino, La Rocca, and Le Colombare are the three vineyards which together span 74 acres under vine. This is the 50th year they’ve been bottling their Calvarino Single-Vineyard by itself, and right up there with Almondo’s ‘Le Rive,’ it is one of Italy’s most sacred white wine bottlings.
In addition to just the best land Soave has to offer, the Pieropans are a very studious, forward-thinking, and experimental bunch. For decades, they’ve been at the forefront of research, innovative methods, and extraction techniques to make age-worthy special wines that belong with the best white wines on the international stage.
