Garganega

The soul of Soave, Garganega produces aromatic whites with ripe pear, white flowers, and a distinct almond finish. At its best, it is crisp yet textured, with a mineral backbone that gives it elegance. Basic Soave is fresh and citrusy, while Classico versions from volcanic soils showcase depth and aging potential. With bottle age, Garganega develops honeyed and spicy nuances, gaining richness without losing vibrancy. Naturally high in acidity, it pairs well with seafood, risottos, and soft cheeses. A grape that rewards careful handling, it remains one of Italy’s most refined yet underrated white varietals.
