SOAVE CLASSICO 2019
LEONILDO PIEROPAN
This Soave Classico is everything you would expect from this great producer. Subtle fruit, a pleasant nutty character and a long dry finish. Superb.
- The nose is delicate, with fresh apricots and ripe citrus fruit.
- Soft Peach and lemon notes, together with white flowers and a very mineral mouthfeel.
- This is a brilliant producer in Soave, their wines never disappoint.
- A great wine to drink now, but can also but kept for added complexity.
- Pairs well with delicate fish dishes and crab.

“Good to see an increasing number of fine Italian producers using screwcap, and why not, for a refreshing style of dry white which in this instance shows the classic textbook stonefruit and apple characters of the Garganega grape with a touch of Trebbiano di Soave for a finish that's appetisingly, nuttily dry.”
“Another year, another delicious Soave from Pieropan – and we're only (if that's the word) talking about the straight Classico, rather than either of the single-vineyard bottlings. It has a lovely blossomy freshness, lemon-scented fruit with a whisper of quince and honey and delicate, nutty, almond patisserie flavours. 95% Garganega, 5% Trebbiano di Soave. ”
