Soave Classico Superiore, Calvarino - 2003 - Pieropan
Ref: A102603
"If Nino Pieropan wasn't a winemaker, he'd be a watchmaker," says Franco Allegrini, "it is because of his attention to small details of white wine making that his wines are so outstanding." Pieropan himself says that the quality derives from doing a series of small things right, "from the moment you pick up the secateurs to the time that the cork goes into the bottle."

Pieropan's Cavarino has always been styled 'Soave Classico Superiore' but Nino thinks that the DOCG authorities have bastardised Soave and won't accept new rules and thus cannot any longer use the term 'Superiore'.

The Calvarino vineyard, in the family's hands since 1901, remains a classic expression of Soave. A blend of 80% Garganega and 20% Trebbiano di Soave, it is subtle and almondy with a minerally hint and nice touch of honey on the finish. It has seen no oak so expresses a really pure fruitiness.
