Country: Italy / La Rocca
Variety: White Blend Veneto
Winery: Pieropan / Soave Classico Superiore
Pieropan’s La Rocca distinguishes itself from the Calvarino bottling by firmer structure and greater ageability. Tasted in spring 2003, this effort still has plenty of life left. Mimics Sauvignon a little in its gooseberry and red-currant flavors and grapefruity acidity.
