Pieropan Soave Classico Garganega 2020

Flew to Neverland today and lost the battle against a Lugana. I blame the food choice. Great wine. Just lacking balance. Acidity is a bit overpowering. Give it a year or two on the shelf.

Fresh, bright Soave Classico from the garganega grape. A spectacular white with Meyer lemon aromas, laced with citrus and mineral notes. Slight green herbaceous notes. What a nice find!

The 2020 Soave Classico wafts up with enticing notes of kiwi and sour melon contrasted by savory herbs. It’s deeply textural and round in feel, with a tart interplay of lemon and lime that’s nicely offset by a pleasant inner sweetness. There’s wonderful harmony here, as the 2020 tapers off with green botanicals and a flourish of minerality. This “entry-level” Soave Classico from Pieropan punches well above its price point. Since Pieropan makes three different bottlings, one from each tank, of their Soave, I thought it prudent to add the lot number for reference. (Lot# 26.10.21) (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)
