Located on the stony hills of Soave Classico is the renowned Pieropan estate. With 58 hectares of vineyards, this family-owned winery has been producing wines in Soave since the late 19th century. Regional trailblazers, Pieropan became the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave in the early 1930s, while in 1971, they became the first to make a single-vineyard wine – ‘Calvarino’. Certainly, Pieropan owe much of their reputation to their two single-vineyard wines: ‘Calvarino’ and ‘La Rocca’. ‘Calvarino’, made using grapes grown on the volcanic basalt of Soave Classico, is similar in style to top Chablis, while the latter is richer and more opulent as a result of fermentation in oak. Today, brothers Andrea and Dario run the estate, taking over from their late father Nino who oversaw over 40 years of revolutionary winemaking. As of 2015, all Pieropan wines are certified organic.Read less
