Description and technical sheet
The Soave Calvarino di Pieropan is one of the most elegant and subtle expressions of Soave ever, produced since 1971. The Calvarino vineyard is located in the heart of the classic Soave area and represents the ancient family estate for the company, purchased in 1901. The name Calvarino comes from "little Calvary," due to the difficult soil processing and the winding path necessary to reach the estate. The soil is volcanic, rich in basalt and tuff of oceanic origin, and we are at an altitude of 200 - 300 meters above sea level, with a westerly exposure. The Garganega, present in Calvarino at 70%, and the Trebbiano di Soave are handpicked, often with a double pass, to select the ripest grapes. Harvesting begins in mid-September for Trebbiano di Soave and in October for Garganega; after destemming and pressing the grapes, the free-run juice ferments at a controlled temperature (16°-18°C) in vitrified cement tanks. Aging also takes place in vitrified cement tanks for one year in contact with the fine lees, to enrich in structure and complexity. After bottling, the wine rests for several months in glass before being marketed.
SOAVE CALVARINO PIEROPAN: TASTING
The Soave Classico Calvarino by Pieropan is a pale straw color, with greenish-gold reflections. On the nose, it has grace and elegance, initially offering hints of mentholated balms and smoky mineral whispers, then opening up to bergamot, white peach, fresh almonds, and hazelnuts. The palate is savory and very fresh, with citrusy returns and a refreshing sensation like ice on herbs. A highly versatile wine, it pairs wonderfully with turbot and baked artichokes.
