Garganega
Garganega is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Veneto region of Italy. It is best known for producing the famous dessert wine Soave, which showcases the grape's bright acidity and floral aromas. Garganega grapes thrive in volcanic soils, contributing to their unique flavor profile, which often includes notes of citrus, almond, and herbs.
The grape is typically harvested late in the season, allowing for optimal ripeness. Garganega wines can range from dry to sweet, with some versions being aged in oak to enhance complexity. This versatility makes Garganega a popular choice among wine enthusiasts and producers alike.
