In the wine column today (5/26/10), titled "Soave, Haunted by its Pitiful Past," Jason Wilson gives some good advice for wine drinkers, "stay away from the large cooperatives that control 80 percent of Soave's vast production and focus instead on the handful of smaller, high-quality winemakers in the Soave Classico zone." He goes on to say...
"At the wine shop, here's all you really need to know: Look for Soave Classico DOC on the label, and stick with a handful of producers such as Suavia, Inama, Pra, La Cappuccina,and Pieropan. The Soave Classicos I've been tasting are vibrant, but also more complex, more flavorful and a better value than most insipid, characterless, overpriced pinot grigios, and they're a far better complement to food, especially grilled fish, pork, cheese, fresh vegetables, and risotto dishes with seafood or mushrooms. Soave Classico is perfect for a long sunny lunch."
