    Tasting notes

    The color of this 2019 Soave Classico La Rocca is a brilliant straw yellow. On the nose, it reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus, and mineral notes. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, followed by a beautiful breadth and remarkable aromatic complexity. The finish is long and persistent, marked by a saline minerality that lends it great elegance. A balanced and harmonious wine, perfect for accompanying your moments of pleasure.

    Food & wine pairings

    Ideal with seafood, grilled fish or delicate poultry. It will also enhance an asparagus risotto.
    Producer

    Producer

    The unique La Rocca vineyard is located on the slopes of Monte Rocchetta, behind the château A medieval vineyard overlooking the town of Soave. Benefiting from a unique microclimate, it produces a wine of great character, with a distinctive and inimitable bouquet. Innovative since its creation in 1978, it has established itself in the region, becoming an undisputed symbol of quality and tradition.

    Owner and history

    The Pieropan family, owners of the domaine, is deeply attached to its land and traditions. It is a purely family and historical management. After the death of the visionary Leonildo "Nino" Pieropan in 2018 (the man who proved that Soave could be a very great wine for aging), his sons Andrea (agronomist) and Dario (oenologist) took up the torch alongside their mother, Teresita.

    Vinification and aging

    The vinification of the Soave Classico La Rocca 2019 is carried out with care in order to preserve the purity of the aromas and the freshness of the fruit.

    This vintage offered ideal conditions for the Garganega grape variety, allowing it to reach perfect phenolic ripeness while retaining the characteristic mineral brilliance of the domaine.

    Winemaking: Pieropan's Expertise

    Harvest: Very late harvest (end of October) to obtain sun-golden grapes.

    Livestock farming: Unlike la cuvée La Rocca, a classic stainless steel wine, is aged for 12 months in oak barrels (500-litre barrels and 2000-litre casks).

    The little secret: The wine remains on its fine lees, which gives it its volume and exceptional aging potential.
