Pieropan Pieropan Soave Classico 2024 750ml

In a screw-cap bottle, the organic Pieropan 2024 Soave Classico is a favorite bottle from Northern Italy for very good reason. This simple expression of Garganega (blended with 15% Trebbiano di Soave for extra richness) offers nice freshness, mineral tones and sweet primary fruit that recalls freshly cut apple and white peach. This was not an easy vintage by any stretch, but this white wine comes out fighting. The Pieropan family does a terrific job with this entry-level release of 560,000 bottles. The grapes are sourced over 60 hectares on volcanic soils, and the wine sees a brief five to six months in cement tank. The process is simple and easy, and the wine is delicious. (Monica Larner)

A mouthwatering white, loaded with zesty tangerine and pink grapefruit flavors, this is light on its feet and well-knit. Nectarine, white blossom, pickled ginger and fresh tarragon notes play on the lightly chalky finish. Garganega and Trebbiano. Drink now through 2031. 45,800 cases made, 6,272 cases imported.

Green apples and nettles. 10% trebbiano di Soave. This is a jittery Soave, gently mid-weighted, verdant and spicy, with the sensation that it was picked early to retain acidity. A blend of sites, all volcanic. Fermented and settled in concrete. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
