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.

€ 24,00 INC. VATAdd to cartThe 2021 Riesling Alte Reben White Capsule is made from vines with a minimum age of 60 - 90 years and some centenarians. This is a blend of old vine parcels across the Middle Mosel. Here, just a little shake of the glass unleashes a whole chorus of bright citrus. Lime and lemon but also aromatic tangerine dance first on the nose, then on the palate. Zestiness is the name of the game on a slender, dry body that reverberates with citrus aromas. A real bargain full of flavor and depth. (Bone-dry)

€ 26,30 NO VAT (private collection) The floral honey and spice aromas add a whole extra dimension to this incredibly concentrated and elegant dry riesling. Almost overwhelming depth of Mandarin orange and Amalfi lemon character. How can it be supernaturally expressive and have just 11.5% alcohol? From three small vineyard parcels, all around 100 years oldAdd to cart -
€ 41,00 NO VAT (private collection) Sophie is vibrant and concentrated, with notes of apple, apricot, lime, and marzipan set against a backdrop of racy acidity and wet stone minerality. Fermented in oak barrels & aged on fine lees for 9 months, this is a wine capable of aging, yet certainly drinkable now.Add to cart -
€ 74,00 NO VAT (private collection)The 2021 Gewurztraminer Furstentum Grand Cru opens with peach compote and trails vestiges of passion fruit. The palate is sweet with Mirabelle jelly, almost creamy. This seems to have an internal combustion engine putting out peach, puffing away, letting out bursts of lemon and rose, but coming to concentrated, orange zest and peach skin finish that is just so taut and bright. The 47 g/L of residual sweetness is a fact, and the wine itself is alchemy. I have to borrow Catherine Faller’s architectural simile, noting that this wine "starts Baroque but finishes Gothic."
