I am new to Soave since moving north. (those Reunite commercials!!) What a revelation! When I order a bottle for the table I see the panic flash in people's eyes and then they take a sip. And always say, wow!
My favorites are from the Cantina Filippi. I am adding your favorites to my to do list.
I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one that remembers the sorry state of the Soave DOC back in the 70s and 80s. Yes, I was a child, so therefore wasn't drinking it; so I only know about it in the historical sense of the word.
But as they say, what is old is new again. With a lot of serious wine drinkers getting tired of mass produced insipid Pinot Grigio, Soave Classico and/or Soave Superiore (Classico?) could have a renaissance. Maybe?
It seem to be more of an inside knowledge thing, as it doesn't create the same buzz of Etna Bianco, Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Alto Adige top crus, etc. That hopefully will keep the prices at the the 2 digit range rather than the 3 digit range, fingers crossed.
