Soave Versus
An annual tasting event in the medieval walled village of Soave, east of Verona, where producers from the Soave Classico and Soave DOC zones present their Garganega-based whites. The format pits classico against extended-zone wines, allowing visitors to taste the terroir debate live. The castle walls and vineyard views are spectacular.
