Pieropan’s La Rocca 2023 Among the Top 100 Italian Wines

A Landmark Award for Soave and Italian White Wines

The world of Italian wines has been buzzing with excitement: La Rocca 2023, the iconic Soave Classico from Pieropan, has been awarded 2nd place in James Suckling’s Top 100 Italian Wines 2025.

This outstanding recognition not only highlights the excellence of Pieropan’s winemaking but also shines a spotlight on Soave — a region that is increasingly celebrated for producing white wines with structure, elegance, and ageing potential.

La Rocca: The Soul of Soave

Crafted from the historic La Rocca cru, located beneath the medieval castle of Soave, Pieropan’s La Rocca embodies the estate’s philosophy: respect for the land, mastery of Garganega, and a balance between innovation and tradition.

The wine is known for its golden hues, aromas of ripe stone fruit, almond and honey, and a texture that combines richness with elegance. With remarkable depth and ageing potential, it stands proudly among the best Italian wines — often compared to the great whites of Burgundy.

Why This Award Matters

Earning a top position in James Suckling’s Top 100 Italian Wines is more than just an accolade. It confirms Pieropan’s role as a benchmark for Soave wines and elevates the reputation of Veneto on the international stage.

For collectors and wine lovers, it’s a guarantee of quality and a signal that La Rocca 2023 is not just a bottle to drink — but also one to treasure.
