Pieropan 2024 Classico Soave

Reviewed at $25
A benchmark for Soave and a testament to how elegant and complex this Italian white can be. The 2024 Pieropan Soave Classico delivers freshness in its purest form: crisp pear, white peach, and citrus zest glide across a lively mineral backbone.The critics agree.

From Wine Spectator (91pts): A mouthwatering white, loaded with zesty tangerine and pink grapefruit flavors, this is light on its feet and well-knit. Nectarine, white blossom, pickled ginger and fresh tarragon notes play on the lightly chalky finish. Garganega and Trebbiano. Drink now through 2031.

From Wine Advocate (92pts): In a screw-cap bottle, the organic Pieropan 2024 Soave Classico is a favorite bottle from Northern Italy for very good reason. This simple expression of Garganega (blended with 15% Trebbiano di Soave for extra richness) offers nice freshness, mineral tones and sweet primary fruit that recalls freshly cut apple and white peach. This was not an easy vintage by any stretch, but this white wine comes out fighting.
