Located in the Veneto region, in the village of Soave, the Pieropan winery was founded in 1901 and is now managed by Dario and Andrea, the fourth generation of the family. The estate's vineyards extend over approximately 45 hectares in the Soave Classico wine district, not far from Lake Garda, the Lessini Mountains Regional Park, and the Veneto Dolomites.
The Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grapes come from the company's historic Calvarino vineyard, facing west and located between 200 and 300 meters above sea level. Here, the organically farmed vines are rooted in basaltic volcanic soil and enjoy a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. After manual harvesting, fermentation takes place in stainless steel, and the wine ages on the lees for approximately 12-15 months in glass-lined concrete tanks.
The result is a fresh and lively wine with a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose, it reveals a broad and mature aromatic profile with floral notes of jasmine and hawthorn, citrus and tropical fruit, and Golden Delicious apple, with hints of toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it is crisp, clean, and elegant, with a well-balanced acidity and a long, delicately savory finish. It is a food-friendly wine: try it with shellfish and sushi, vegetable tempura, pea risotto, or cheese soufflé.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
