Pieropan Recioto di Soave Classico C5 Calvarino Soave Calvarino

Dichter und fester als der einfache Classico. Wieder mandel kräuter guter trinkfluss

2021 vintage

A few bars in Namba, Osaka : Deep lemon appearance. Primary aromas of apple, pear, lemon peel, blossom, jasmine, white pepper and ginger, stony minerality. Dry, high acid, medium body with evident texture from batonage, medium+ finish and flavour intensity but looking forward to trying the La Rocca too to see if there is an evident step to outstanding.

2021 vintage

The 50th anniversary vintage and the first single vineyard white wine of Italy. A warm August and September - this is a young but already attractive Calvarino. 89 now - may improve.

2021 vintage

What a bottle! Precise and focused that felt somewhat Alpine while also having the exuberance of the Italian coast. Orchard fruits and citrus aplenty with a wet stone minerality and the clarity you get with brilliant mineral water. Oh and the finish - how it went on and danced on the tongue. Absolutely a joy now but plenty of joy ahead as well. There doesn't seem to be a wrong time to drink these.

2021 vintage

This wine continues to impress. My current impressions are consistent with prior tasting notes.

2021 vintage

Showed much better than when last viewed. Complex stone fruit (peach et al), melon. Rich, long. Surprising complexity for Soave. Quite. few years ahead of it.

A: med lemon with gold notes N: white flowers/jasmine, apricot, touch of green papaya, saline, celery, fresh herbs P: dry, high acidity, med chalky texture, med body, 13% ABV C: very good = balanced ripe fruit and well enveloped acidity, med (+) intensity, med concentration, med (+) finish. Drink now or hold for 5-10 years. Certainly a step up from their entry level but without the concentration of the La Rocca at the top end, really well done Soave.

2021 vintage

Bright golden yellow. Tropical whoosh on the nose, peaches, lychees, lemon zest, softened with honey, lush and delicious. Unctuous full opening flavoured wash, warm sweet with acid zip, tingling, luxurious, lovely.

2021 vintage

Maybe this was too old since it came off a bit strange. Not much on the nose and the taste had somewhat of off putting pear notes

2021 vintage

Oxydée!

2021 vintage

Color is quite orange. Thick taste. Some intense pineapple. Raisins

2008 vintage

Pink grapefruit, flint stone, pear, peach blossom. Medium to full bodied with a zesty acidity. Dominant citrus flavor with apple skin and rock on the finish.

2021 vintage

The Calvarino vineyard was purchased in 1901 and has been sold as single-vineyard expression since 1971, so this is the 50th anniversary of this cuvee and the 120th of being in this family’s estate. Organic. 70% Garganega. 30% Trebbiano di Soave. Aged in glass-lined cement for up to 15 months. The nose is shy at first, but it opens up as it warms up. It starts fruity and floral, but there’s a flinty minerality and some leesy notes. The palate …

2021 vintage

Surprisingly in golden in color. Pear, honey melon, lemon oil and apricots. Needed some time (60 minutes or so), to open up. Lingering acidity on the palate. Thoroughly enjoyed this wine. Great QPR. 91p+

2021 vintage

White peach, pear, hazelnut, honeysuckle, hint of spice and fine herbs. A bit of body and weight but bright acids keeping it super fresh. Really elegant

2021 vintage

A blend of 70% Garganega and 30% Trebbiano di Soave. Organic viticulture, fermented and aged on the lees in concrete vats at a low temperature for 15 months in the new cellar, bottled 17 January 2023. Medium yellow colour, relatively full for a young wine; needs some oxygen to show its complexity on the nose, wax and honey, peach and pear, toast from the lees ageing, good depth; quite tart acidity on the palate, lemon juice, light to medium body …

2021 vintage

This was great. Salty, lemon, stone fruit, minerals. Bright acidity.

2021 vintage

Liquid gold. Grippy warm peaches, mineral nose, honeyed and sweetness with background candied lemon acidity. Full luscious wine, perfectly balanced sweetness and acidity, some woody grip in the background, beeswax, pear and ripe apricots. Absolutely delicious, what a lovely rich wine. Day 2, beautiful, it's rich and pure and crystalline as only Italian whites can be. Honey, ripe peaches, apricots, lemon rind and soft resin. Top!

2021 vintage

Pale. Floral, underripe peach. Crisp, mineral, peach and lemon, cool like menthol. Long, silky finish. This is top notch!

2021 vintage

I gave the wine half an hour of air prior to tasting. Attractive medium amber color; honeysuckle nose. Rich and substantial mouthfeel. Nice complexity. Apricot, tangerine, ginger and melon notes predominate. A nice touch of peppery spice tickles the palate. It closes with a lovely long-lasting finish. This wine continues to impress. I believe it has entered its prime drinking window, with several good years ahead of it

2021 vintage

Good wine. Beeswax and citrus nose. Pretty and complex in the mouth. Long finish. 5-12-16-8: 91/100.

2021 vintage

Rund, gule frukter, med fin syre og struktur i avslutning. Flott dette!

2021 vintage

Golden greenish hue Nose and palate quite alike. Great concentration with a refreshing crisp acidity and nicely long savoury finish. Complex wine that opens with pear, apricot and white peach to then develop in the mid-finish with more tropical fruit (pineapple), honey and flint.

2021 vintage

Crunchy orchard fruits, a bit of almonds and spice, mix of citrus and sea salt on the finish. Really lively acids, good finish, could see lots of upside here.

2021 vintage

50th anniversary of this wine by Peiropan. Dry, high acid white wine. Great food wine.Lots of citrus, tropical fruit and floral notes. I like the La Rocca better but this is really tasty as well. 90 points.

2021 vintage

Deep honeyed hue. Incredibly complex and interesting.

2021 vintage

I had my first taste of this wine a month ago at an LCBO tasting event. Instantly, I knew I had to purchase it. The wine had a delightful aroma of white flowers, melon, grapefruit, and seashells. Upon tasting it, I could detect the flavours of melon, peach, lime, and salt. It tasted like I had swallowed a mouthful of ocean water. The finish was long and satisfying.

2021 vintage

Pieropan Masterclass (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street) : A little stone fruit, honey, leesy notes lend a buttery richness, slight sulphur, floral notes, citrus underpin shows a little lemon and grapefruit, lovely nose. Softly engaging with juicy acidity, a sense of freshness, citrus over stone fruit, soft burr tugs at the mid palate and helps carry the fruit flavours very long, balanced, persistent, good.

For the price and the hype, I found it underwhelming. Next day. A similar view. I let it warm to room temperature and it shows a little more flavour but… Acid is still quite high. I will leave the other bottle for maybe 5 years.

This has improved over the last several years. Still featuring excellent acid and deft balance. No reason not to drink now, but no rush. Off-the-chain pairing with Stilton.

2009 vintage

Aperto e servito. Naso inizialmente timido, lascia uscire poi sentori di frutta secca e candita. Mela cotogna, datteri, noci e mandorle, scorza d’arancio candita, albicocche nere secche. Al palato denso come si confà ad un recioto, ma con una freschezza che alleggerisce e facilita. Bella lunghezza con ritorni di arancia candita e frutta secca.

2009 vintage

Similar to last bottle. This is improving, reaching a good maturity plateau ***1/2

2010 vintage

A little better and more open than last bottle, an attractive relative lack of fruit ***1/2+

2010 vintage

Definitely needed some time to open up and went from feeling quite mature and a little heavy to fresher and a much better balance. Lemon, melon, some floral elements, minerality - distinctive and very enjoyable ***1/2

2010 vintage

APPEARANCE: The colour is between deep gold and pale brown. NOSE: Lots of citrus, with dried orange peal, lime, bergamot and orange blossom honey. Sweet, very ripe peaches and yellow plums. Peach stone, marzipan, hint of almonds. Oily, petroleum. Minerality and a hint of smoke. With time the nose expands and becomes very rich, filling even the empty glass with an intense perfume (91p) On day 2 the nose has become slightly more defined; sharper, fruitier, smokier and with a …

2006 vintage

Wow... vilken dryck... magiskt tilltalande bärnstensfärg... fantastisk lukt och smaken hänger kvar i evigheter... en fullträff för ett sött vin!! Och kvaliten... höll smaken och lukten i över 2 veckor i kylskåpet efter öppnad flaska!! 5+

2009 vintage

Naso intenso di albicocche secche, scorza d'arancia candita, miele, crostata, frutta tropicale, pesca matura. Denso ma rinfrescante in bocca con buona struttura e persistenza.

2009 vintage

What Soave aspires to.

2010 vintage

Flowers & lemon, nice and round in the mouth with a delicate complexity, a bit of tartness before a very good finish revealing all of the above. I don't think this wine will improve so I'd drink up while it is still zippy but has a wonderful mellowness.

2010 vintage

I concur with Liber's notes from 6/8/2016. I'd add that the wine needs only a slight chill: it tasted better straight from the cellar than after I chilled it, and best after I let it warm up to just below cellar temperature. Drink now or within a few years.

2010 vintage

Last of 12, perfect cork and level, previous notes very good to fine on improving trend with greater maturity and this best bottle - yellow tinged green; lovely freshness and purity with a salinity approaching fine Chablis with an added smokey dimension; medium bodied, long , reasonably complex, quite acid but refreshing, still improving! F (17.5).

2010 vintage

Lively bouquet of dried apricot, citrus, orange blossom honey, and dandelion. It falls of somewhat at back, yet it remains appealing.

2009 vintage

Opened tonight to go with a smoked side of Alaskan sockeye. It is fairly non-aromatic with a richness on the palate reminiscent of Chardonnay and Viognier. However, unlike most examples of those wines, this has plenty of acidity to make it food-friendly. The fruit reminded me of melon and there was no hint of tiredness or oxidation.

2010 vintage

Pieropan has been producing Soave Classico since 1860 and this single vineyard wine Calvarino was the first to be produce in 1971. The 2010 is 70% Garganega (gives structure and acidity to the wines) 30% Trebbiano di Soave (gives perfume and richness of flavor) vinified and aged in glass lined cement, with some lees stirring." The palate started out light and simple then fattens up in the mid-palate entirely, showing more ripped fruit flavors with a hint of honey, all …

2010 vintage

Came at the end of a beautiful yet very long lunch so this is not a fill TN. Sticky and thick with some sharp edges is how we remember it good but not great and we did not even finish our glass...among 2...never a good sign 87

2009 vintage

Balanced, food friendly with good length. Probably has upside with time, but it's in a fine place now. Given the price, this is a quality choice for a no brainer house wine.

2010 vintage

still pure and lovely.

2008 vintage

Dinner with Monthly Group at Forlino's (Forlino's, One Fullerton, Singapore) : A nice, classy Soave, especially at its price point. We had the benefit of drinking this with some beautifully cooked seafood antipasti, and it really shone in the context. The nose was quite classic Soave, with beeswax, peach and pear aromas along with some floral notes and a waft of spice and mineral. The palate had a nice balance to it - it was rather soft and fleshy in …

2010 vintage

Хорошее сбалансированное вино с отличным вкусом и цветом. Легкое, свежее, цветочное.

2010 vintage

One if the best sweet whites I have had. Not overpoweringly so. Another hit from this solid producer.

2006 vintage
