Vibrant, Almond-Laced, and Wonderfully Crisp

Crafted by the legendary family estate that single-handedly put premium Soave on the map, this benchmark Classico is the ultimate expression of northern Italian volcanic terroir. Steered away from heavy wood or simple neutrality, it focuses instead on extreme freshness and aromatic lift. Crisp green apple, white peach, and elderflower are propelled by a bright line of mineral acidity, settling into a beautifully balanced, medium-bodied palate with a signature twist of bitter almond on the finish.

Expert Tasting Notes & Estate Reputation

  • 95 Points – James Suckling: "Perfumed wine with citrus and minerality, forthright, intense and focused. Medium-bodied, vibrant and savory, it displays super-cool freshness and weight, with a polished finish. One of the top Italian whites for quality-per-price ratio. Drink now."
  • 92 Points – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "In a screw-cap bottle, the organic Pieropan 2024 Soave Classico is a favorite bottle from Northern Italy for very good reason. This simple expression of Garganega (blended with 15% Trebbiano di Soave for extra richness) offers nice freshness, mineral tones and sweet primary fruit that recalls freshly cut apple and white peach. This was not an easy vintage by any stretch, but this white wine comes out fighting. The Pieropan family does a terrific job with this entry-level release of 560,000 bottles. The grapes are sourced over 60 hectares on volcanic soils, and the wine sees a brief five to six months in cement tank. The process is simple and easy, and the wine is delicious."
  • The Royal Family of Soave: Founded in 1880, the Pieropan estate is universally recognized as the absolute visionary of quality winemaking in the region. They were the very first winery to release a bottle with the word "Soave" on the label. Intentionally avoiding flat, over-cropped commercial methods, the family relies on organic viticulture in the historic hillside *Classico* zone, extracting a world-class white wine celebrated for its transparency, structural purity, and surprising aging ability.

Highlights

  • A classic blend composed of approximately 85% Garganega and 15% Trebbiano di Soave, harvested from certified organic estate vineyards.
  • Vines are rooted entirely in the historic Classico hillsides, characterized by ancient, mineral-dense basaltic volcanic soils.
  • Fermented and aged on fine lees in traditional, glass-lined cement tanks to cultivate a smooth texture while fully retaining pure varietal and mineral focus.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Brilliant pale straw-yellow with delicate greenish hints.
  • Nose: Lifted, fresh, and exceptionally perfumed, opening with elderflower, vine blossom, and green apple, beautifully layered with ripe pear, citrus rind, and a fine hint of crushed stones.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced. Vibrant flavors of white peach and lemon pastille are propelled by a clean line of refreshing acidity. The mid-palate has a smooth, rounded weight, leading into a long, dry finish defined by a classic, appetizing hint of bitter almond.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C. Avoid serving it freezing-cold, which suppresses the floral aromatics and unique almond nuances.
  • Decanting: Not required, though opening the bottle 10 minutes prior to pouring allows the crisp bouquet to fully awaken. Delightful for immediate enjoyment, with the precision to keep well for 3–5 years.
  • Western Pairing: An exceptional counterpart for spaghetti alle vongole (clams), grilled sea bass, lemon-herb roasted chicken, or pea and mint risottos.
  • Asian & Cantonese Pairing: This wine’s crisp acidity and crisp finish serve as a beautiful counterpoint to premium seafood starches and stir-fries. It pairs flawlessly with 水晶蝦餃皇 (Premium Steamed Prawn Dumplings / Har Gow), 清蒸大閘蟹 (Steamed Hairy Crab), or 薑蔥炒蟹 (Sautéed Crab with Ginger and Scallions).
