***96pts by James Suckling*** Soave Classico, Pieropan, `La Rocca`, Italy 750ml

James Suckling highlights this bottle as really great value, rating it 96pts and says,

The only oak-inflected cuvee at the estate. Aged in 100% used tonneaux, both French and Slavonian. Superb aromas of pistachios, peaches and dried mangoes. Broad and expansive, yet funneled into a vortex of tension by freshness that sublimates any sense of obvious power. A wonderful expression of a warmer vintage that suits perfectly this compelling site.
