Tasting notes:

‘La Rocca’ is a single vineyard planted on the only limestone outcrop in the appellation. Barrel fermented and aged for 15 months on the lees in large oak casks. Aromas of nuts and exotic fruits. Rich and elegant on the palate with notes of spice and hints of minerals.

Producer description:

The Pieropan family was the first to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label back in the 1930s and the first to produce single-vineyard wines within the appellation. Today, Andrea and Dario Pieropan run the estate and own 58 hectares of vines, all certified organic. Famous for making rich and zesty whites, the winery’s flagship wine is La Rocca. It has won many gold medals at the International Wine Challenge over the years.

Critic Scores

James Suckling | 96

The only oak-inflected cuvee at the estate. Aged in 100% used tonneaux, both French and Slavonian. Superb aromas of pistachios, peaches and dried mangoes. Broad and expansive, yet funneled into a vortex of tension by freshness that sublimates any sense of obvious power. A wonderful expression of a warmer vintage that suits perfectly this compelling site.
