Perfumed wine with citrus and minerality, forthright, intense and focused. Medium-bodied, vibrant and savory, it displays super-cool freshness and weight, with a polished finish. One of the top Italian whites for quality-per-price ratio. Drink now.

A zesty orchestra where Meyer lemons and lime peel play lead violin, backed by a chorus of crushed seashells. The performance hits every high note as citrus energy dances across a chalky mineral stage, building to a crescendo that makes you want to applaud. This may not be the family's calling card but do not be fooled, forget some in the cellar and you will be rewarded with one of the world's great aged wines at a value. Drink Now - 2045 — Jeff Porter

In a screw-cap bottle, the organic Pieropan 2024 Soave Classico is a favorite bottle from Northern Italy for very good reason. This simple expression of Garganega (blended with 15% Trebbiano di Soave for extra richness) offers nice freshness, mineral tones and sweet primary fruit that recalls freshly cut apple and white peach. This was not an easy vintage by any stretch, but this white wine comes out fighting. The Pieropan family does a terrific job with this entry-level release of 560,000 bottles. The grapes are sourced over 60 hectares on volcanic soils, and the wine sees a brief five to six months in cement tank. The process is simple and easy, and the wine is delicious.

A mouthwatering white, loaded with zesty tangerine and pink grapefruit flavors, this is light on its feet and well-knit. Nectarine, white blossom, pickled ginger and fresh tarragon notes play on the lightly chalky finish. Garganega and Trebbiano. Drink now through 2031.—A.N.
