2000 'Le Colombare' Recioto di Soave Classico, Pieropan

Soave, Veneto, Italy

Luminous and inviting, the 2000 Le Colombare radiates aromas of candied apricot, baked apple, and honeycomb, with a touch of chamomile and almond cream. The palate is rich and velvety, balancing sweetness with vibrant acidity, a seamless dance between fruit and finesse. Layers of marmalade, dried fig, and citrus zest linger long into the finish, leaving a final whisper of minerality. It’s indulgent but never heavy, a perfect example of Pieropan’s precision and poise.

For when: You want a glass that feels like sunlight after rain.
Pairs with: Foie gras, tarte tatin, or a late-night story worth retelling.
If this wine were: A golden silk thread, it would be bright, intricate, and impossibly smooth.

The 2000 vintage in Soave was warmer and sunnier than average, yielding grapes of exceptional ripeness and aromatic depth. The warmth brought a rounder texture and honeyed generosity to Le Colombare, while Pieropan’s careful harvesting preserved the wine’s backbone of freshness. The result is a golden, opulent expression of Recioto di Soave, rich in spirit, yet elegantly composed.

  • Producer Information

For more than a century, Pieropan has stood as the benchmark for quality and integrity in Soave. Founded in the late 1800s and still family-run today, the estate’s legacy is one of quiet mastery, wines that express the volcanic soils and gentle hillsides of the Soave Classico zone with precision, depth and grace.

The family’s vineyards, including the famed Le Colombare, La Rocca and Calvarino, are rooted in ancient basaltic soils on the slopes of Monte Foscarino, where the native Garganega grape finds its purest voice. Sustainable farming and meticulous hand-harvesting ensure low yields and vibrant fruit, while traditional air-drying methods and long, patient ageing bring richness and complexity to the estate’s iconic sweet wine, Le Colombare Recioto di Soave.

Under the guidance of Andrea and Dario Pieropan, the fourth generation continues the vision begun by their father, the late Leonildo Pieropan, a pioneer who redefined Soave’s reputation on the world stage. Today, Pieropan’s wines, from the crystalline Soave Classico to the golden, age-worthy Le Colombare, remain the reference point for purity, balance and enduring Venetian elegance.
