| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Known for his single-vineyard Soaves, Roberto Anselmi takes his Soave seriously and keeps yields limited so the wines are intensely aromatic and show great fruit. But for this wine, he blends the traditional Soave grape, Garganega (80%), with Chardonnay (15%) and Soave Trebbiano (5%). That’s why it’s labeled “Bianco” (white), and I.G.T. rather than D.O.C. so that Anselmi may step outside the box to blend grape types that aren’t D.O.C. for Soave. Medium-bodied with a medium golden straw color, this dry white wine suggests pear and white melon in the aromas, set off by a subtle nuttiness. Minerality joins the fruit flavors on the palate, which blends notes of pear, melon and citrus. The flavors linger, giving at least a full minute of finish. Very good value. Foods: all the shellfish and mild white fish, grilled red snapper; baked flounder stuffed with crabmeat; crab cakes; soft-shell crabs; mild curry in seafood or chicken salads; calamari with lemon or aïoli; slightly spicy shrimp/lobster dip; white pizza (try thinly sliced potato, Vidalia onion, mozzarella di bufala and arugula); guacamole; pasta salad with Parmesan cheese, garlic and smoked mozzarella cheese (Whole Foods); soft cheese and herb dip; Parmesan potato cakes; croquetas (chicken or fish); stuffed cocktail potatoes.
