Pieropan Soave Classico Calvarino 2024

$4599

Calvarino is where the single-vineyard Italian white wine begins: Pieropan has bottled it on its own since 1971, the first Italian white identified by a named site. The vineyard is a northwest-facing slope of Eocene basalt at 95 to 145 metres, planted to vines between 30 and 60 years old, and unlike the all-Garganega La Rocca it holds 30% Trebbiano di Soave in the blend. Everything happens in glass-lined concrete tulip tanks, 12 to 15 months on the fine lees and not a stave of oak, which leaves the volcanic soil doing the talking. 2024 was a punishing year in Soave - late spring frost, 200mm of rain falling in hours in May and June, then mid-summer heat - and Pieropan picked by eye in the vineyard rather than by the numbers. Drink it now with plenty of air, or give it a few years.

Kerin O'Keefe

95 points

"Aromas of lychee, botanical herb, summer orchard fruit and wet stone come to the forefront on the stunning 2024 Soave Classico Calvarino. Even in an extremely challenging vintage like 2024, it shows its trademark of class, finesse, depth and mineral-driven tension, delivering flavors of white peach, honeydew melon, lemon drop and saline mineral notes before closing on a hint of honeyed almond. Vibrant acidity keeps it energized and balanced. One of Italy's most age-worthy whites, this will offer a decade or more of fine sipping. Drink through 2036." —Kerin O’Keefe
