WINEMAKER TASTING with PIEROPAN from VENETO, Italy
MON. MARCH 16, 4-6pm BELMONT STORE

pieropan-label.jpgThe ancient walled commune of Soave is the home of the exalted PIEROPAN estate. The winery was founded by Leonildo Pieropan in 1890 and the family continues the tradition of excellent wines, including their single-vineyard Soave Classico wines, La Rocca, Calvarino. Fighting the tidal wave of high-volume jug wine, Pieropan has always embraced quality and shown the world just how great the wines of Soave can be.

2007 PIEROPAN Soave Classico $17.99

2005 PIEROPAN “La Rocca” $45

2006 PIEROPAN “Calvarino” $32

2004 PIEROPAN “Le Colombare” Recioto

2004 PIEROPAN “Ruberpan” $50

The visit will mark the premier of Ruberpan, which is the first red produced by the estate. It’s a blend of 60% Corvina with the balance being Corvinone, Rodinella, and Croatina from Valpolicella vineyards acquired by the estate.
