Pieropan make some of Europe’s best white wines, which I always buy for myself each vintage and tuck away! This is your chance to do the same: our First Release of their highly sought-after single-vineyard wines. The 2023 Calvarino and La Rocca come from a cool, classic vintage, displaying all the hallmarks for ageing potential as well as youthful enjoyment. We have bottles and magnums of both of these outstanding wines to reserve now.

La Rocca, perhaps best known of the duo, is situated on the Monte Rocchetta hill, named after the medieval fortress which overlooks the town of Soave. It's a special vineyard with limestone and clay soils, which help give the wine its concentration and lush feel. It is matured in barrels for a year to add further complexity. This is a powerful expression of Soave that can age beautifully, its finesse and elegance making it a benchmark for the region. Calvarino, a more traditional, gently aromatic Soave for earlier drinking, comes from the original Pieropan vineyard, which sits on volcanic soils and is planted with trebbiano as well as garganega.
