LE COLOMBARE RECIOTO DI SOAVE PIEROPAN 500ML

ABV 13%
Pieropan’s estate covers 30 hectares of vineyard, all of which are situated on the hills of the Soave Classico zone. The Pieropan family has been producing wines in Soave since the 1860s. Indeed, they were the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label, in the early 1930s. Nino Pieropan took over from his father in 1970, and was the first to produce a single vineyard wine, Calvarino, in 1971. The Calvarino vineyard has been in the family since 1901.
VINEYARDS
Grapes are picked from a range of different vineyards on the Pieropan property. The vines are trained according to the traditional Veronese pergola system and are south facing.
VINIFICATION
This wine is made solely from Garganega grapes picked in late September and laid on straw mats in a well-ventilated loft to dry for approximately five months. A small amount of botrytis is encouraged, approximately 10-15% in total. In early spring, the semi-dried grapes were pressed, and the must fermented and aged in large oak casks for two years.
TASTING NOTES
Intense gold in colour with amber tints, this wine has aromas of exotic fruits and apricots. Its initial impression on the palate is delicately sweet, followed by a succulent richness and a clean acidity on the finish.
