Keep drinking old wine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soave

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'keep drinking old' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'wine' is the second definition.
(Soave is an example)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soave that I've seen before include "White wine from NE Italy" , "Dry white wine from Verona" , "Italian wine region" , "Italian dry white wine" , "Drink" .)
