Garganega
Garganega is a white wine grape variety that is primarily grown in the Veneto region of north-eastern Italy and is one of the main components of the well-known Italian white wine Soave. It is a versatile grape variety used to produce a variety of white wine styles, including still, sparkling, and sweet wines.
Notable regions
Garganega is primarily grown in the Veneto region of Italy, particularly in the Soave wine-producing area where the vineyards are devoted almost entirely to this single variety.
The grape is also found in small quantities in Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions, as well as some small cultivation in Australia.
Characteristics
The Garganega grape is known for producing dry wines with medium to high body and similar levels of acidity.
The variety is known for producing crisp white wines with notes of almond, hazelnut and green apple, while the acidity can often offer strong citrus fruit flavors, including lemon and grapefruit.
