Pieropan’s estate covers 30 hectares of vineyard, all of which are situated on the hills of the Soave Classico zone. The Pieropan family have been producing wines in Soave since the 1860s. Indeed, they were the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label, in the early 1930s. Nino Pieropan took over from his father in the 1970, and now his two sons, Andrea and Dario work with him on the sales and winemaking side respectively. La Rocca is 100% Garganega from the La Rocca vineyard.

2021 Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca DOC
€ 40,00 NO VAT (private collection)
The 2021 Soave Classico La Rocca seduces, flaunting its rich bouquet of confectionary spice and sweet oak before coming further into focus with baked apple and chamomile notes. This is elegance personified, opulent at first and then decidedly savory and precise, with crisp orchard fruits flowing across a saline-tinged, acidic core. The 2021 finishes with dramatic length, staining the palate in youthful concentration as zesty citrus combines with dried apricot and peach. This is an especially decedent vintage for La Rocca, yet the balance is something to behold. It was refined for one year in a mix of 2000- and 500-liter Slavonian oak barrels.

€ 55,00 INC. VATAs usual, Molitor’s exclusively small-barrel-raised “three-star” Pinot Blanc introduces some overt notes of oak on the nose and slight stiffening and drying to this variety’s usual engaging combination of textural creaminess with refreshment. But it still harbors plenty of interest. Musky suggestions of narcissus mingle with scents of corn shoots, lime peel and bruised apple skin. Fuller than its two ostensibly lesser counterparts but by no means heavy, this offers a cooling midpalate suggestion of mint-laced apple and lime sorbet, leading to a lingering if slightly woody finish enhanced by saliva-inducing salinity.

€ 27,00 NO VAT (private collection) The Sauvignon Quintessenz wafts up with a pretty bouquet of lemon zest and gooseberry complicated by hints of crushed stone. It’s silky and supple on the palate, with vibrant acidity motivating tart orchard fruits. This leaves a sour citrus tension and a saline mineral twang while finishing potent yet fresh.- By Eric Guido on December 2022

€ 45,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2022 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg has a lovely ivy edge on the nose alongside peach, peppery and fragrant. The palate is alive with peachy sweetness, juicy and rose petal tinged, beautifully rounded with a frame of bitter orange zest, rich but well-contoured. The zestiness and pithiness counter the 34 g/L of residual sugar, adding their lovely bitterness to this gently sweet wine. Together, they make the mouth water. (Off-Dry)
