The Soave Classico "La Rocca" from Pieropan winery represents an excellence in the production of white wines from Veneto. Produced in the historic vineyards located in the hilly areas of Soave, this wine celebrates the Garganega variety, which has been cultivated here since ancient times.
The volcanic and limestone soil of these hills gives "La Rocca" a distinctive minerality, which blends harmoniously with floral and fruity notes, including sensations of apricot, chamomile, and a subtle touch of almond. The grapes are harvested manually, ensuring a meticulous selection that preserves the superior quality of the harvest.
In the winery, the wine undergoes slow fermentation in large stainless steel containers at controlled temperatures to preserve the delicate varietal aromas. Subsequently, "La Rocca" matures for a period in wooden barrels, which contribute to its complexity and structure without overpowering the original freshness of the fruit.
On the palate, Pieropan's "La Rocca" stands out for its impeccable balance between richness and lively acidity, offering a long and lingering taste that invites reflection. It is a white wine that expresses itself magnificently both in its youth and after a few years of bottle aging, revealing new nuances of flavor.
Ideal as an accompaniment to rich fish dishes, poultry in creamy sauce, or as a sophisticated aperitif, this Soave Classico "La Rocca" is a testament to the skill and passion of Pieropan, a winery that continues to set the standard for high-quality white wines in Veneto.
