2024 Pieropan "Calvarino" Soave Classico

Notes

The 2024 Pieropan "Calvarino" Soave Classico (DOC) represents a stunning, high-toned return to the absolute pinnacle of volcanic white winemaking, offering a masterclass in aristocratically chiseled varietal precision. Dario and Andrea Pieropan craft this benchmark, certified organic single-vineyard bottling from the family’s historic estate core in the hillside zone of Soave Classico. The blend is dominated by Garganega (70%), fortified with the explosive acidity of Trebbiano di Soave (30%). Rooted in the deep, terraced, and completely basaltic black volcanic soils of the "Calvarino" vineyard—whose name literally translates to "little calvary" due to the punishing physical toll of farming its steep slopes—these old vines thrived in 2024, converting the vintage’s luminous energy into purely vertical, fluid tension.
