Italian Wine Adventure #2: Soave (A very underrated white wine, Italian white wine treasure, great options for white wine lovers, Classico designation explained)

from The Wine Pair Podcast · host The Wine Pair

If you have never had Soave, you are missing out on a great Italian wine! Believe it or not, 50 years ago, Soave was the most popular Italian wine in the United States. What?!? Today, however, it is not super easy to find, which we think is a tragedy. In this episode, we take another Italian wine adventure to introduce you to a vastly underrated white wine called Soave - not Suave, and definitely not Rico Suave! In the 1970’s and 80’s the U.S. was swamped by cheap Soave that still impacts the impression people have of Soave to this day. If you are old enough, you may remember Soave Bolla, or “Chill a Cella” TV ads - and the bad wine that went with them. But don’t let that sway you! If you are a white wine lover, this is a wine you really need to try - especially Soave Classico, and in this episode we also explain what the Classico designation actually means for Italian wines. So, come join us on this exciting adventure to the Verona region of Italy!
