Pieropan Soave Classico 2024 / Half Bottle
Red 14% ABV ABV PieropanFine but expected more from Pieropan
I've had other Pieropan wines before and rate them highly, so maybe my expectations were too high here. It's perfectly drinkable and clean, but for nearly £11 for a half bottle you're paying over £20 equivalent for a full one. Decent enough on its own but I'd probably just spend a bit more and get something with more going on.
Recommended by the shop and they were right
The guy in my local wine shop suggested this when I said I wanted something Italian and interesting but not too pricey. It's really well balanced and the finish keeps you coming back for another sip. Half bottle was perfect for a Tuesday night with some pasta. Would buy again.
Solid Soave for a dinner party
Bought a few of these half bottles for a dinner party so people could try different wines without us opening loads of full bottles. Everyone liked it — nice clean nose, good fruit, and that 14% gives it a bit of depth without being boozy. Not life-changing but a reliable pick.
Great little half bottle
Picked this up on a whim because I needed something for a midweek dinner and didn't want to commit to a full bottle. Really glad I did — it's got a lovely brightness to it and the acidity cuts through rich food nicely. At just under £11 for a half bottle it's not the cheapest, but honestly it drinks like something more expensive.
