Garganega is a very important and grown vine variety in Veneto, its most famous denomination is Soave; thanks to its versatility, Garganega can be made sparkling, still or raisin. The grapes ripe during the first half of October; it has a thick and yellow skin, tending to pink when fully ripen.The wine has a pale yellow color. It isn’t a very aromatic variety, but it has clear notes of white flowers, like elder, and perfumes of almond that can be also found during the tasting. It is more sapid than mineral, and the barrique ageing gives richness and complexity to the wine.
