Pieropan Soave Calvarino 2023 750ml

The Calvarino vineyard is located in the heart of the Soave Classico area and represents the old family estate, purchased in 1901. The name Calvarino comes from ‘little calvary’, because of the difficulty of working the basalt soil and because of the tortuous path to reach the bottom. The wine ages in glass-lined concrete ‘tulipe’ tanks for 12-15 months. During this period, it remains on its fine lees to increase richness and complexity. The noble lees are moved periodically through manual battonage. Pale straw yellow, with greenish reflections when young and golden nuances with the aging. The nose is fresh, mineral, with intense floral notes of acacia, jasmine and elderflower, and rich fruit notes such as fresh almond, pear, yellow peach, pineapple, lemon and the characteristic crispy cherry. It closes on nuances reminiscent of aromatic herbs, sage, lemon-thyme and mint. On the palate, refreshing and elegant, with tremendous length and finesse." - Winemaker Notes
