The basis of Soave, Garganega is well suited to volcanic soils and produces crisp, dry white wines with flinty aromas and flavors of citrus, honey, and almond.
Formally known as “Prosecco,” vigorous Glera remains the basis for Prosecco DOC and DOCG still and sparkling wines. It is widely planted in the areas of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene near Treviso.
Planted across northeast Italy (“Delle Venezie”), Pinot Grigio represents one of Italy’s largest exports.
A synonym of Trebbiano di Lugana, this white grape is used in smaller percentages in Soave wines.
