Garganega
Garganega is the most common white grape variety in the Verona area. It is an ancient grape present for centuries in the territory of the hills north-east of Verona. It found its land of choice above all in the area of Soave and Monteforte d'Alpone, on soils of ancient volcanic origin. Black lands, consisting mainly of basalts, mixed with tuffs and calcareous extrusions, the result of submarine magmatic eruptions. A very fine terroir, which manages to convey structure and notes of particular finesse and flavor to the Garganega. The vine's preference for volcanic soils is confirmed by the excellent results obtained in Gambellara, on the hills near the Lessini Mountains.
Garganega is a very productive plant and is usually bred according to the ancient use of the Veronese pergola. A system that after a period of abandonment in favor of the guyot, has been re-evaluated for its ability to better protect the grapes from the sun, maintaining a greater balance between sugars and acidity.
The wine has a straw yellow color with golden reflections. The nose opens with notes of white flowers, ripe fruit and final with a characteristic almond note. It is a harmonious wine, which lends itself to ageings in steel and wood and shows a great propensity for aging, with the development of interesting tertiary aromas. It is a grape that also lends itself to over-ripening in the vineyard to make late harvests or to be stored to dry in the loft for the subsequent production of sweet wines, such as the famous Recioto di Soave and Gambellara
