The winery was founded by Leonildo Pieropan, a household name in Italian viticulture. This man is considered an icon among Soave wines. Both friend and foe will agree that the best Soave wines are from Pieropan.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe company is now run by his children, Andrea and Dario. Besides a successful history in Soave, they also secured the purchase of a beautiful estate in Valpolicella, where impressive red wines now flow from the cellars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Italian wines from Veneto\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Pieropan is located in arguably Italy's most important wine region. Wine is made throughout Italy, but nowhere else will you find it as good or as abundant as in Veneto. Located in northern Italy, Veneto stretches roughly from Lake Garda to Venice. Veneto is known today for its exceptionally fine wines, with Valpolicella and Soave being true standouts. Valpolicella is home to one of the world's finest wines: Amarone.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The Soave wines of Pieropan\u003c\/h2\u003e \nPieropan's specialty, however, is its Soave wines, which are produced around the village of the same name. The Pieropan Soave Classico, made from local favorites like Garganega and Trebbiano, has been a resounding success for years. However, the awards are won by a different Soave wine. The Pieropan La Rocca Soave Classico is a truly special cuvée. The rich juice is aged extensively in French oak. The result is, to say the least, sublime. Wine connoisseurs are lining up to discover this Pieropan sensation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Why buy Pieropan wines\u003c\/h2\u003e \nAlthough Pieropan is a relatively small player in Italy's Veneto wine region, they stand out for their excellent quality. Their small size also means they pay more attention to the grapes and the winemaking process. This attention is directly reflected in the phenomenal aroma and flavor of Pieropan wines. Besides their superb Soave wines, the Pieropan Amarone Della Valpolicella Vigna Garzon is highly recommended. An Amarone wine full of complexity and depth, it will instantly make any Amarone lover's mouth water.","products":[{"product_id":"pieropan-soave-classico","title":"Pieropan Soave Classico","description":"A delightfully refreshing Soave from the Pieropan family estate.

They were the first winery to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label in the early 1930s.

In the cellar, they are destemmed and pressed. Temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks.
