The estate:
Pieropan’s estate covers 30 hectares of vineyard. Nino Pieropan is fanatical about the quality of his vineyards, all of which are south facing and situated on the stony hills of Soave Classico.
Yields are low, and the quality of the grapes arriving in the winery outstanding. The vineyards are planted primarily with Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave (he is probably the only producer in the zone with any of this rare variety left in his vineyards. The variety bears no relation to its more prolific Tuscan namesake). The Garganega gives structure and acidity to the wines, the Trebbiano di Soave perfume and richness of flavour.
Vinification:
After a scrupulous selection in the vineyard, the grapes were soft pressed and the must fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.
Ageing:
The wine remains in large oak casks for a short period of time in order to give it some extra weight and depth on the palate.
Tasting notes:
Brilliant straw yellow colour with greenish hints. The delicate nose is reminiscent of almond blossoms and marzipan. Good depth of fruit on the palate, nicely balanced by a zingy acidity that enhances its long length.
Alcoholic content: 12 ° vol
Total acidity: 6 ‰
Serving suggestions:
Very good with soups and fish, including fresh-water fish, and vegetable starters.
