2023 Soave Classico La Rocca

Celebrating its milestone 45th anniversary (1978–2023), the Pieropan 2023 Soave Classico La Rocca shines with golden intensity and offers a compelling bouquet that draws from both the character of Garganega and from careful oak aging. This 100% Garganega is aged in 500-liter French and Slavonian oak for 15 months. Varietal tones include stone fruit, preserved lemon and crushed oyster shell. Oak nuances of nutmeg and saffron add framing and depth. La Rocca is a five-hectare site with limestone soils, and 45,000 bottles were made. The Pieropan family knows its stuff. Happy anniversary.
