I recently spent three days in Italy drinking nothing but one type of wine. Sounds pretty boring, you might think, but it wasn’t at all. Ten different producers. Different terroirs, different approaches to winemaking, different vintages. And, it turns out, soave goes with practically everything, which makes it an ideal all-rounder of a summer wine.
Soave is the region, not the grape, which is mostly garganega, though some producers such as Pra (see my pick below) also blend in the more aromatic trebbiano di soave. Soave is in the hilly area east of Verona, and abutting Valpolicella, a style many producers also make.
