Wine Review: This light straw-colored Soave Classico opens with a ripe honeydew melon bouquet with a hint of lemon zest. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with brisk plus acidity. It displays rounded edges and nicely coats your mouth. The flavor profile is grapefruit pith and chalky minerality blend with notes of lime zest and saline. I also got a touch of ginger and dash of white pepper towards the end. The finish is dry and refreshing. This Soave Classico from Pieropan would pair well with a leftover turkey sandwich or with steamed littleneck clams. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2020 Pieropan Soave Classico is a brilliant straw yellow color with greenish hints. The delicate nose is reminiscent of almond blossoms and marzipan. Good depth of fruit on the palate, nicely balanced by a zingy acidity that enhances its long length. An excellent partner for soups, asparagus, seafood, or freshwater fish dishes.
