Those of us of a certain age will remember an Italian wine brand called Bolla, which was huge in the 1970s. Our parents drank it, and it lent an air of sophistication to an otherwise ordinary spaghetti and meatball dinner. My dad loved Bolla's valpolicella
Bolla's soave was one of the first white wines I remember drinking. Which means I have a soft spot in my heart for soave, and the Inama did nothing to change my mind. It was little tight out of the bottle, but opened up sufficiently to be a value at $14. It has good soave minerality, which means clear and crisp. It didn't have quite the subtle lemon and apple fruit of great soaves, but I'm not complaining. Pair it with everything from takeout pizza to more formal fish and chicken dishes.
I agree with sherzy. I am a huge Pinot Noir fan and this is a big dpnmpiointaest. I just opened a 2006 Pinot Noir from Bolla and immediately noted the odd color. Rather than a wine with a decent body, it was a pale shrunken old woman in a bottle. Didn't pay much for it and now I know why.
