A Tulip Shaped glass is the best choice for a dry white wine.
It guides the wine to the center of your mouth, avoiding the sides, where acidity is less pleasant.
A smaller bowl also helps to serve smaller quantities, and keep the wine cold.
Remember to hold the glass by the stem!
Soave Classico contains at least 70% Garganega grapes blended with Trebbiano and sometimes Chardonnay.
It is produced with different styles: from light-medium bodied (similar to Pinot Grigio), to full bodied (called Superiore and similar to Chardonnay).Malolactic Fermentation provides a more creamy Soave.
Veneto is famous for its capital Venezia, and the wines Prosecco, Soave, and Amarone.
