While I could not taste the newest vintage of Soave from Pieropan, as the wines were not yet bottled, I focused on the house's Valpolicella and Amarone. These are red wines that only a white wine producer could make; they’re unique, full of energy and spicy tension with cascading florality throughout. Pieropan’s Valpolicella vineyards in the Val d’Illasi are outside the Classico zone and near the borders of Soave. The Amarone is among the top wines I tasted this year, and the Valpolicella is spellbinding.
