Our first wine was La Cappuccina Soave from the Verona region of Italy, 2011. As with most Soave wines, garganega grape varieties were the most commonly found ingredients. The description given points to almonds and flowers, though I couldn't pick up the almond smell, or taste to be honest. I did smell the grapes, of course, and could tell it was a very light wine. When I first tasted it, it seemed bitter, but then once it settled in, there was a sweet aftertaste that I really enjoyed. While I did not try this wine with food, I think it would be paired well with cheese or Italian food. Next time I have a pasta meal, I will definitely consider this wine, as it is only $7.95.
