In honor of March and the first day of spring, I wanted to recommend a dry white wine that’s easy to sip on.
🌿 Pieropan Soave Classico 2023 – $20-$30 (depending on where you shop)
This wine reminds me of a cross between Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. It has bright acidity and a light body, but is balanced with bold flavours and a smooth, slightly oily finish—giving it more depth than a Pinot Grigio or Sauv Blanc.
Soave is a dry Italian white wine from the hillsides of Soave Classico in the Veneto region. Expect notes of honeydew, peach, pear, and marjoram, along with a subtle saltiness reminiscent of some Greek wines I had the pleasure to try in Santorini.
Pairing suggestion: This wine would be perfect alongside something salty and rich, like a seafood risotto.
Grape composition: 85-90% Garganega, 10-15% Trebbiano di Soave.
Winery Background: Pieropan is a historic producer, credited with elevating Soave’s reputation for quality. Their Soave Classico is a benchmark for the style.
Cheers to spring and fresh flavours!
