94 points James Suckling: "A glorious Soave with cooked-apple, pear, honey and stone aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, layered and fruity with peach and light pineapple character on the finish. Drink and enjoy. (7/22/20)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "[$45 list] A finely knit, light- to medium-bodied white, with rich flavors of glazed apple, baked pineapple and chopped hazelnut enlivened by bright, lemony acidity and a racy streak of salinity. Hints of lime blossom and smoke play on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2031. 500 cases imported. (4/30/21)"

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Aromas tropical fruit, chamomile, toasted nut and acacia lift out of the glass. The full, rounded palate doles out ripe apricot, yellow peach, juicy pineapple and grilled herb, while a bitter almond note graces the lingering finish. Drink through 2023. Alcohol 13%. (Nov 2019)"

92 points Wine & Spirits: "[$45 list] La Rocca is a plush counterpart to Pieropan’s firm, floral Calvarino, also recommended here. Made from late-picked grapes briefly macerated before fermentation, this 2017 rested on the fine lees in wooden barrels (500 to 2,000 liters) for one year. It’s rich and honeyed, with gingery flavors of baked apple and yellow pear. (Feb 2020)"
