This is not your dad's Soave Bolla. Once almost a synonym for bland and boring white wine, Soave now can reach amazing heights when produced by artisans such as Pieropan. This wine is more complex than 90 percent of California chardonnays in its price class. The dazzling mix of flavors includes sweet pea, pear, white pepper, cherry, peach, herbs and minerals.
