Moderate alcohol is another key, along with crispness, good acidity, and complexity. Just such a wine is this lovely, complex wine from a master Soave producer. If you've grown accustomed to thinking of Soave as bland and characterless, you're in for a revelation. The aromas jump out of the glass with a variety of sensations at hand, including white fruits and minerals. On the palate, the silky texture and depth of flavor from start through mid-palate and long finish focuses on the same white fruits and enhanced minerality. Some writers describe this wine as "simple." Rubbish. It's wonderfully complex. Grape types: Garganega 80%, Chardonnay (15%) and Trebbiano di Soave (a'k/a Verdicchio) (5%). Serve moderately chilled, about 55ºF/113ºC in medium-sized tulip-shaped glasses. Enjoy the day you open it; loses its bloom the next day. Foods: pasta salads with creamy dressings; grilled scallops or mild fish with tartar sauce; chicken salad; herbed creamy soft cheese with vegetables for dipping; potato salad with oil and vinegar and cumin seed; shrimp salad; crab cakes, white or margherita pizza. Winery says smoked fish, but I tried two and found both dreadful with the wine.
