Pieropan la Rocca Soave Classico is a single-vineyard white wine produced from Garganega grapes in the Soave Classico appellation of Veneto, Italy. Pieropan`s estate covers 58 hectares of vineyard which are situated on the stony hills of Soave Classico. The Pieropan family has been producing wines in Soave since the 1890s. The grapes for this wine were grown in the vineyard of La Rocca, which takes its name from the adjacent medieval castle and fortress (`La Rocca`) that dominated the town of Soave, just east of Verona. The 2020 vintage exudes an intense, concentrated bouquet that follows through on the palate. On the nose, classic La Rocca aromas of nuts and exotic fruits lead to an elegant and beautifully balanced palate, with notes of spice and a light minerality on the long finish.

Vinous
A deep golden color captures the eye long before the 2020 Soave Classico La Rocca can captivate with its sweetly-scented mix of white flowers, crushed almonds, apple and hints of vanilla custard. It’s texturally deep and opulent in feel, yet this impresses even more with its saline-mineral core and vivid blend of baked pear offset by sour melon. The 2020 La Rocca leaves a staining of primary concentration, along with hints of candied lime that seem to fizzle upon the senses. There is so much balanced pleasure to be found here. No rush, there is easily a decade of evolution in store for patient readers.Eric Guido1st April 2022
