Pieropan Soave Classico D.O.C.
The nose is delicate, with reminiscent aromas of almond blossoms and marzipan. Fresh and floral
with hints of vine, cherry and elder flowers, and of fresh fruit such as pear and white peach.
Smooth, with good fruit concentration, nicely balanced by a zesty acidity that enhances its long finish.
