Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high acidity, dry
Calvarino is Pieropan's historic single-vineyard Soave Classico, farmed on volcanic-basalt soils since the 1970s and a benchmark for how far Garganega can go. Expect almond and white flowers over a flinty, mineral core, with the density and acid structure to develop honeyed, savoury complexity over a decade or more — a rarity among Italian whites.
Serving: Serve at 10–12 °C.
