94 points/'#15 Enthusiast 100 2021,' Wine Enthusiast: "Fragrant and delicious, this opens with heady aromas of white spring flower, citrus and tropical fruit. Vibrant and tangy, the savory palate doles out juicy grapefruit, white peach and lemon drop before a saline mineral finish. Bright acidity keeps it crisp and balanced. Alcohol 12%. (Sep 2021)"
92 points James Suckling: "Aromas of fresh pear, lemon curd, white pepper and wet stones. Hints of wild herbs. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Wonderfully focused with a light spritz to the zesty, mineral notes on the finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (3/5/21)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "[$23 list] A lithe, zippy white, offers a streak of racy minerality driving appealing flavors of kiwi fruit, pineapple, peach skin and ginger, with a floral finish. Drink now through 2026. (6/30/21)"
90 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2019 Soave Classico blends savory and sweet with a spicy flair that completes the expression nicely. Ripe pear and nectarine mix with hints of ginger and sour green melon. It’s soft and pliant upon entry yet enlivened by salty minerals and brisk acids, making for a wonderfully balanced expression. The palate sizzles with residual tension, as hints of sour citrus resonate throughout the finale. Drink: 2021-2026. (Feb 2021)"
Producer notes: "85% Garganega, 15% Trebbiano di Soave. This is the freshest, youngest wine in the Pieropan family range. It is made entirely from fruit grown in their own vineyards situated in the Soave Classico zone and planted only with indigenous grape varieties. Color: brilliant straw yellow colour with greenish hints. Perfume: the delicate nose is reminiscent of almond blossoms and marzipan. Tasting notes: good depth of fruit on the palate, nicely balanced by a zingy acidity that enhances its long length. Serving suggestions: It makes an excellent partner for soups, starters, especially vegetable based such as asparagus, peas, courgette, egg-based dishes or seafood and fresh water fish dishes. It is an excellent aperitif, especially when served with simple canapés. Serve at 12°C."
