Pieropan - Soave Classico La Rocca 2023

Celebrating its 45th anniversary (1978–2023), the 2023 Pieropan Soave Classico La Rocca shines with a golden intensity and offers a captivating bouquet that draws both from the character of the Garganega grape and careful aging in oak barrels. This 100% Garganega is aged for 15 months in 500-liter French and Slavonian oak barrels. The varietal aromas include notes of stone fruit, candied lemon, and crushed oyster shells. Woody nuances of nutmeg and saffron add structure and depth. La Rocca is a five-hectare estate with limestone soils that produced 45,000 bottles. The Pieropan family knows their stuff. Happy anniversary. 2025–2036

Luxurious aromas of golden fruit and white flowers burst elegantly from the glass.
