A benchmark producer for the Soave DOC, Pieropan has earned its legacy status simply by consistently making beautiful wines. This particular vintage rates as a significant year marking the 50th vintage for winemaker Leonildo “Nino” Pieropan, grandson of founder Leonildo Pieropan. While Gargenega leads this wine, the addition of Trebbiano lends a floral touch to aromas of almond-laced lemon curd, and honeysuckle. The palate is juicy with fleshy lemon pulp, yellow apple, ripe pear, and vibrant acidity. The finish is bright and long-lasting with linger notes of creamy honey-comb. Another hallmark wine for the Pieropan collection.
