Pieropan Soave Classico 2024 comes from organically farmed vineyards in the historic hills of Soave, where volcanic soils help give Garganega its characteristic combination of freshness, fruit and mineral character.

White peach, yellow pear and citrus are joined by white flowers, almond and subtle herbal notes. The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, with fresh acidity, a lightly rounded texture and a saline mineral character that carries through the clean, persistent finish.

Garganega forms the heart of the wine, while a small proportion of Trebbiano di Soave adds freshness and additional texture. Aging in cement keeps the focus on the fruit and vineyard character rather than oak.

I like the 2024 because it shows how much character Soave can offer without becoming complicated or heavy. There is enough fruit and texture to make the wine immediately appealing, but the acidity, salinity and slight almond note give it the definition that makes good Soave so versatile at the table.

Food Pairing: Pair with grilled fish, shellfish, risotto, vegetable dishes, asparagus, roast chicken, fresh pasta, sushi, or soft cheeses.

Serve around 46–50°F.
