The soil in La Rocca is unique in Soave in that it is a limestone outcrop (the same soil as in Valpolicella Classico) in a sea of basalt. Because of this soil, the Pieropan family feel they get sufficient ripeness in the Garganega grape to make a wine solely from this variety.  After gentle, whole-bunch pressing using a nitrogen press, there was a short period of maceration on the skins followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and 500 litre oak casks. 60% of the wine remained in 500-litre oak casks while the remaining 40% was aged in 2,000 litre 'botti' or large barrels for one year. The final blend was then aged for four months in bottle before release. Pieropan's 'La Rocca' Soave Classico is golden yellow in the glass, with intense, concentrated perfume that follow through to the palate. On the nose, classic La Rocca aromas of nuts and exotic fruits lead to an elegant and beautifully balanced palate, with notes of spice and a long finish.[#intro]An intensely concentrated, single-vineyard Garganega from the masters of Soave...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pieropan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39252547731523,"sku":"A23PIEROPANLAROCCA-1","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/LaRoccaBottlecopy.jpg?v=1614554068"},{"product_id":"pieropan-calvarino-soave-classico","title":"Pieropan 'Calvarino' Soave Classico 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eCalvarino is situated in the heart of the Soave Classico zone and is the ancient cornerstone of the Pieropan family’s vineyards, bought in 1901. The name derives from ‘Little Calvary’ referring to the difficulties in working the land and the tortuously winding path to the bottom. It has basalt soil that is typical in this part of Soave and is planted with Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. The first label was released as far back as 1971 and the wine is a perfect example of true Soave. Both grape varieties were harvested by hand to ensure only the fruit in pristine condition is vinified. Once at the winery, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed in a protective environment. The free-run juice was then fermented in glass-lined cement tanks. Post fermentation, the wine was aged on the fine lees for around 12-15 months to add texture and complexity. It was then aged further in bottle until its release. The Pieropan 'Calvarino' Soave Classico is pale straw yellow in colour. On the nose are lifted aromas of lemon, cherry and elderflower.
