Product Notes

Pieropan Ruberpan Valpolicella Superiore is a premium Italian red wine that is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Croatina grapes. This wine is a deep ruby red color with intense aromas of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, and spices. On the palate, it is smooth, well-balanced, and full-bodied with a long and soft finish. It is matured in oak barrels for 12 months, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. This wine is a perfect accompaniment to rich and flavorful Italian dishes such as grilled meats, pasta with meat sauce, and aged cheeses. Pieropan Ruberpan Valpolicella Superiore is a true representation of Italian winemaking tradition and excellence.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant ruby red in colour, this wine has a bouquet full of typical cherry and strawberry fruit. The palate continues with complex layers of beautiful fruit notes and finishes with a spicy character. Ruberpan is ready to drink now but also has the potential to age well.

About the Winery

Pieropan

If you want to taste authentic Italian wines that have been crafted at a winery owned by many generations of a family that has abundant knowledge on winemaking and terroir quality, you have to try the Pieropan wines right away. The history of this brand dates back to 1880, when this business was established in the Soave village in the reputed zone of Palazzo Pullici in Italy. 

Leonildo Pieropan, a physician from Soave, was well-aware of the potential of the soils in this region, because of his previous work experience in the family vineyards. He, along with his sons, Fausto and Gustavo, started working in the cellars in the 1950s and 60s to churn out impeccable quality, Italian wines that spoke a lot about the quality of their terroirs. Today, this business is run by the fifth generation of the Pieropan family, with the same dedication and winemaking philosophy.

The Pieropan family believes in traditional winemaking principles. These are reflected in the way they maintain their vineyards. The local territory of these vineyards is given utmost importance and minimalistic intervention technique is followed in addition to organic viticultural practices.

The three vineyards from where grapes are sourced for Pieropan wines are Calvarino, La Rocca and Garzon. Calvarino vineyard is the oldest of the three as it has been with the family since 1901. It is located right in the heart of the Soave area and is blessed with amazingly rich and fertile volcanic soils.

The La Rocca Vineyards are found in a place that is rich in calcareous soil and ancient geology. The wines made from the grapes grown here are class personified. These are located near Soave’s Merona castle, quite close to the Rocchetta Mountains.

Garzon vineyards, located in the Garzon Mountain, can be found in Cellore Illasi. The rocky soil and the excellent solar radiation in these vineyards help in the perfect ripening of the grapes grown here.
