white grape

Garganega

Sunny, temperate Veneto hills; the grape behind Soave.

Known as: Garganega

Garganega is the grape of Soave, one of Italy's classic whites, and a study in refreshing, mineral restraint.

At its best, and unlike its humble reputation, it offers almond, citrus and a lovely saline bite.

For the buyer, well-made Garganega is great white value - crisp, food-friendly and perfect for summer.
