--------THE PRODUCER--------

Pieropan

Pieropan are considered one of the best producers in the Soave region, and for good reason. In a time, 40 years ago, when the world was awash with neutral and character-less Soave wines, the likes of Pieropan and Anselmi decided to produce wines of quality, finesse and complexity. They haven't looked back since.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Garganega

Gargenega is the white grape varietal behind the zippy and citrusy wines of Soave in the Veneto of northern Italy. It has long been one of the most planted white grapes in Italy due to its bold lemon and lime flavour profile.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Veneto

Veneto is a region in the northeast of Italy. It is the region behind the famous red wines of Valpolicella. The wines of Valpolicella are made in a range of styles from dry and light (Valpolicella Superiore) to medium bodied and complex (Valpolicella Ripasso) to the fullest bodied red (Amarone della Valpolicella) and a sweet red made in a passito style (Recioto della Valpolicella). It is also the home to the sparkling wines of Prosecco.
