[SOLD-OUT] Pieropan Calvarino Soave Classico 2020

 

"You can’t speak of Soave’s greatest producers without including Pieropan. Their name has become synonymous with Soave. I was able to tour the new carbon-neutral winery, nestled into the hillsides of the region within sight of the renowned Calvarino vineyard, with Andrea Pieropan. One of the things I’ve always appreciated about this portfolio is not just the drastic difference between the two single-vineyard wines, but how they both impress in completely different ways. For the tension, structure and minerality, you can always look to the Calvarino, which is raised all in cement.

The 2020 Soaves show the sun-kissed fruit of the vintage, yet do so while displaying an energy and depth of character that promises many years of pleasurable drinking." - Eric Guido, Vinous

 

"Pieropan is one of the great names in Soave. The straight Soave is typically one of the great values in Italy, while the higher-end bottlings have proven to age quite beautifully, the Calvarino in particular." - Antonio Galloni 

 

"The Calvarino vineyard is in the heart of the Soave Classico zone and represents the core of the ancient family estate, bought at the beginning of 1900. The soil here dates back to the tertiary era and is rich in clay and tufaceous basalt which give the wine an attractive savoury, mineral quality. The name ‘Calvarino’ derives from ‘Little Calvary’ reflecting how difficult the soil is to work and the tortuous path which winds from top to bottom. The label was first released in 1971 and is symbolic of the most traditional, most characteristic wine from the Soave area." - Pieropan
