A glass of Morrison's Soave Classico for the lady

An unusual tipple for me everyone. Soave used to be a favoured bottle during my student days, but a few too many regretful Sunday mornings has led to me neglecting this variety in recent years. However, this bottle was a present and I'm not one to avoid a free bottle!

And, I must say, I think this could be a good argument for the return of Soave into my selection process. It is, indeed, a 'delicate and dry white wine', as promised by the label and went beautifully with my Gino D'Acampo white ragu. On its own it's big on citrus, but lacking the harsh finish that can imperil this grape, providing a please by drink to accompany 'The Voice'. It's not as quaffable as a good Pinot Grigio (a vital unit of measurement in my wine drinking) but certainly not a criticism. I'd suggest this wine is a better Sunday night glass, rather than a Friday might bottle.

I must also note the quality of the labelling on this Morrison's own-brand bottle.
