Leonildo (Nino) Pieropan showed the world just how great Garganega can be. Nino recognised the importance of terroir early on, expanding the family’s hillside vineyards and creating his single vineyard wines, Calvarino in 1971 and La Rocca in 1978.
 
La Rocca is situated on the only limestone outcrop in Soave, producing a singular example of the garganega grape and one of Italy’s great white wines. A rich, opulent white that has been allowed to develop structure and complexity through ageing in 500-litre barrels, it sports lemon, almond and apple scents, fascinating mineral notes on the palate and a long finish.
