Calvarino is Pieropan's celebrated single-vineyard Soave Classico, first bottled in 1971 and a benchmark for the appellation, from the family's organic estate.

Golden straw, it shows ripe peach, apricot and orange blossom, with toasted hazelnut, saffron and flint.

Rich and layered, with honeyed fruit held by a powerful volcanic minerality, it finishes very long with roasted almond and smoky notes.

Pair with roasted turbot, vitello tonnato or saffron risotto.

Brilliant golden straw with warm amber reflections. Complex bouquet of ripe peach, apricot, and orange blossom with nuances of toasted hazelnut, saffron, and flint. The palate is rich and layered, with concentrated flavours of tropical fruit, honey, and candied ginger, underpinned by a powerful volcanic minerality. Extraordinarily long finish with notes of roasted almond and smoky mineral persistence.
