Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino 2020

Aged in cement vats, the Pieropan 2020 Soave Classico Calvarino is definitely heavier texturally and waxier in this hot vintage. This organic blend of 70% Garganega and 30% Trebbiano di Soave shows a lot of orchard fruit, with ripe apricot in center stage, and pretty details of crushed stone and yellow rose at the edges. You get more richness and density here, compared to the more vertical or lifted bouquet seen in the 2021. Production is 60,000 bottles.

This is an intensely flavorful and layered white with aromas of acacia honey, salted lemons, white rosemary, thyme, white pears and white pepper. Medium-bodied, sleek and concentrated, with a wild-herb edge to the fresh fruit. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
