Crafted meticulously by the renowned Pieropan winery, this vintage encapsulates the essence of its unique terroir.
This bone dry white wine is a harmonious blend of 70% Garganega and 30% Trebbiano di Soave, showcasing a delightful balance between fruitiness and minerality. The vibrant 12.5% ABV provides a refreshing sipping experience that is both invigorating and complex.

- The nose opens with a mosaic of fresh elderflower, jasmine, and acacia, complemented by ripe yellow peach and a hint of crisp cherry.
- A subtle yet alluring backdrop of sage, lemon-thyme, and mint adds depth to its aromatic profile.
- The palate is characterized by layers of ripe citrus and crisp pear, balanced by a chalky minerality and delicate almond bitterness.
The finish is clean and persistent, with lingering notes of vibrant lemon zest and crisp green apple, subtly underscored by a flinty minerality. This wine is perfect for those who appreciate a bright and elegant drinking experience.
To savor the full brilliance of Pieropan Calvarino Soave Classico, we recommend serving it chilled between 10-12°C (50-54°F) in a tulip-shaped glass. Enhance your enjoyment by garnishing with a thin slice of fresh green apple or pairing it with:
- Lightly seared scallops
- Grilled lemon-marinated shrimp
- Marinated olives and thinly sliced prosciutto

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain crispness and preserve delicate flavors. Avoid fluctuations that can cause premature aging or cork failure.
- Light Exposure: Keep the white wine away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent degradation and oxidation.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle’s cork or closure remains intact and airtight. Avoid drying out the cork by not storing wine too long in a refrigerator with low humidity.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle on its side if sealed with a cork to keep the cork moist and prevent air ingress. For screw caps position is less critical but horizontal storage still conserves space and temperature consistency.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity (around 60–70%) to prevent cork drying and mold growth on labels.
- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened reseal with the original cork or a suitable wine stopper and keep refrigerated at about 45°F. Consume opened white wine within 3–5 days for best quality.
These conditions help preserve the freshness aromas and overall quality of white wine during both short-term and long-term storage.
