The stunning 2024 Soave Classico from Pieropan is cool, crisp and savory. All about fragrance and finesse, it opens with alluring scents of Spanish broom, white stone fruit, lime and a whiff of white almond. Made with organically farmed Garganega and up to 15% Trebbiano di Soave, it's dry, delicious, polished and loaded with energy, featuring white peach, yellow pear, unsweetened lemon drop and saline before closing on a bitter almond note. Vinified in concrete tanks, it's a fantastic wine at an incredible price point. (KO)

In a screw-cap bottle, the organic Pieropan 2024 Soave Classico is a favorite bottle from Northern Italy for very good reason. This simple expression of Garganega (blended with 15% Trebbiano di Soave for extra richness) offers nice freshness, mineral tones and sweet primary fruit that recalls freshly cut apple and white peach. This was not an easy vintage by any stretch, but this white wine comes out fighting. The Pieropan family does a terrific job with this entry-level release of 560,000 bottles. The grapes are sourced over 60 hectares on volcanic soils, and the wine sees a brief five to six months in cement tank. The process is simple and easy, and the wine is delicious. (ML)
