Description
Discover the elegance of Pieropan Soave Classico 2024, a distinguished white wine produced in the picturesque Soave region of Italy's Veneto. Harvested from organic hillside vineyards, this vintage showcases the region’s volcanic clay-basalt soils and sloping altitudes, allowing the cultivation of exceptional Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grapes. Each bottle reflects the harmony between traditional winemaking techniques and nature's bounty.
Upon pouring, the wine reveals a brilliant straw yellow hue with greenish hints. The inviting nose offers an intricate bouquet that unfolds with:
- Almond blossoms and marzipan
- Notes of acacia and jasmine florals
- Hints of fresh pear and yellow peach
- Subtle citrus zest and a whisper of white pepper
The palate is a delightful journey, exuberating:
- Crisp and finely textured with vibrant flavors of white peach and apple
- A chalky mineral backbone with a perfect balance of zesty acidity
- A nutty, lingering finish complemented by delicate notes of dried apricot and a hint of honeyed warmth
To enjoy this exquisite wine to its fullest, consider these serving suggestions:
- Serve chilled at 10-12°C in a tulip glass, garnished with a thin slice of green apple or a sprig of fresh rosemary.
- Create a refreshing spritzer by mixing the wine with sparkling water, crushed ice, lemon slices, and fresh mint leaves.
- Pair it with an elegant seafood platter featuring grilled scallops or oysters for a delightful treat.
- Incorporate it into a unique cocktail mix with coconut milk, fresh mango chunks, and a splash of pineapple juice.
- Elevate your summer brunch by serving it with citrus-glazed chicken skewers and grilled peaches.
- For dessert, float a small scoop of vanilla ice cream in a glass of wine mixed with orange juice for a nostalgic twist.
With its crisp and mineral-driven profile, Pieropan Soave Classico 2024 encapsulates the charm of Soave, making it a superb choice for any occasion.

Storage advice
For unopened white wine store it at a consistent temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to maintain its freshness and prevent premature aging. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can cause the bottle and cork to expand and contract risking oxidation and spoilage.
Keep the bottle away from direct light especially sunlight or fluorescent lighting to prevent UV damage which can degrade the wine quality. A cool dark place such as a wine fridge or a dedicated cellar is ideal.
Store the bottle horizontally if it has a cork seal to keep the cork moist and swollen which prevents air ingress; screw caps do not require this but horizontal storage is still acceptable. Maintain humidity levels around 70% to prevent corks from drying out especially important for cork-sealed bottles.
For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork a wine stopper or an inert gas preservation system to limit oxidation. Store opened white wine in the refrigerator at about 45°F (7°C) and aim to consume within 3-5 days for best quality.
Avoid storing white wine for extended periods in a standard kitchen refrigerator as it is too cold and dry which may dry out the cork and negatively impact aging potential if unopened. Instead use a wine cooler designed for temperature and humidity control when possible.
In summary:
- Temperature: 45–50°F (7–10°C) consistent for unopened; ~45°F (7°C) for opened
- Light: Store in dark or low light conditions
- Sealing: Keep cork moist by horizontal storage; reseal opened bottles tightly
- Position: Horizontal for cork-sealed bottles
- Humidity: Around 70% to preserve cork integrity
- Opened bottle storage: Refrigerate and consume within a few days
