The 2004 Soave Classico Superiore La Rocca (100% Garganega aged in oak) offers a ripe, full-bodied yet nuanced expression of sweet, candied fruit, minerals, flowers and toasted oak with superb purity and terrific overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014.
Pieropan is one of the historic producers in the Soave region. From its pristine cellar the estate releases benchmark wines for the appellation. While I generally prefer Soave on the younger side, Pieropan’s wines have also proven to age gracefully.
