2024 Pieropan, Soave, Classico

Slurp Wines NR

Pieropan is arguably the most respected producer in Soave, elevating the region`s reputation from bulk wine to world-class whites over several decades. The family has been making wine in the Soave Classico heartland since the 1880s, farming some of the appellation`s finest volcanic and limestone hillside sites. This is 100% Garganega, the traditional Soave grape, fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity. The 2024 vintage is vibrant and expressive. White flowers, almond and citrus with stone fruit notes and a distinctive mineral backbone. Medium bodied with bright acidity and a clean, chalky finish. There`s more depth and texture here than simple Soave, showing the quality of old vines and volcanic terroir. Elegant and precise rather than rich or heavy. Long, mineral-driven finish. Serve cool (10-12°C). Excellent with seafood, risotto, grilled fish, or works beautifully as a refined aperitif. Drinking well now but quality Soave Classico ages gracefully over 5-7 years, developing honeyed complexity. [Slurp Wines, 05/06/2026]
