($30, Empson USA): After decades of mediocrity, which destroyed Soave’s image, the wines from that region are still struggling to regain their rightful reputation as fine white wines.  Pieropan, one of the leading producers in the region, is one of the reasons why consumers are rediscovering these wines.  This one, from the Calvarino vineyard, is elegant and lacey.  A creamy minerality imparts nice weight for a Soave, befitting the Classico sub-zone.  It would be an excellent choice for simply grilled fish.
