Pieropan Calvarino 5 I.G.T
Calvarino 5 is the first wine of the "Vini dell'Anima" collection.
It is a blend of five Calvarino vintages (2008-2009-2010-2011-2012) aged in the cellar for over ten years on their fine lees.
Calvarino 5 represents an innovative project, a symphony of different vintages harmoniously combined to create a timeless, incredibly long-lived and rare wine.
