Pieropan - Soave Classico "Vigneto La Rocca" 2021 Ml. 750
Winery Pieropan
Characteristic
The Pieropan business was founded in 1880 in the heart of the medieval village of Soave, in the historic Palazzo Pullici. Four generations marked the history of the company, each with their own contributions which varied according to the times, knowledge and entrepreneurial attitude.
THE VINEYARDS
In the philosophy of the Pieropan family business, their vineyard is the guarantee of true quality. The family personally manage their vineyards which exclusively feature traditional varieties. The viticulture is designed to be environmentally friendly. For several years, the company has implemented the organic farming code as a lifestyle choice to respect the local territory. The vineyards are all found in the traditional hills of Soave, featuring exposure to different altitudes. The estate includes two vineyards that are particularly characteristic due to their appearance and personality.
THE VINEYARDS LA ROCCA
The terrain is geologically very old and is calcareous. The harvest to collect the ripe grapes takes place in late October. La Rocca wines feature bouquet-like and unique taste notes that are impossible to replicate, and that are typical of a classy wine. The magical setting of the castle gives the place a special charm.
The La Rocca vineyard is located on the hillside of Mount Rocchetta near the medieval Verona Castle in Soave. La Rocca is South-West faced and includes several long, narrow terraces. They are a perfect example of the work carried out harmoniously with the landscape.
THE CELLARS
The wine cellars of the Pieropan family are the result of a successful blend of tradition and modernity. The historic winery in Soave retains a unique atmosphere of past times. Here all stages of processing take place, from the crushing of the grapes, winemaking and bottling.
