Garganega grape variety

Garganega is a white grape variety that is mainly grown in the Italian region of Veneto. As little known as the variety is, as famous is the wine made from it: Soave. It is usually light to medium-bodied, with moderate acidity and plenty of finesse. The wines show flavours of citrus fruits, green apples, pears and flowers, complemented by almond and mineral notes that come from the volcanic terroir. They can be matured both in steel tanks and in wooden barrels, with the latter usually showing a certain oak flavour. Garganega is ideal as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to light dishes such as seafood, fish or cold antipasti. The wines should generally be drunk young to enjoy their freshness and fruitiness, but high-quality Soave, especially Soave Classico, can also develop remarkable ageing potential if yields are strictly reduced.
