Garganega Veneto IGT
Garganega Veneto IGT is a white wine born of long experimentation. It grows on a strand of grey marl, giving us an unusual white with a golden colour and complex aromas. On the palate the taste is dry, full, with an excellent acid-sapid balance.

Sensorial analysis
Our Garganega is a full-bodied white wine that impresses with its complexity on the palate well complemented by freshness. The intense golden colour anticipates scents of overripe and dehydrated fruit. In the end it is persistent, slightly tannic and spicy, with a good acidic-savoury balance.
The spread of Garganega
Garganega is a grape variety prevalent mainly in Veneto, where it has found ideal soils to express itself at its best. High productivity and good resistance to pathogens have led to its widespread diffusion. The grapes, large and golden in colour, are harvested at the end of September and are suitable for macerations and withering. The macerations in particular give the wine intense, golden colours, with broad olfactory nuances ranging from fresh and dried fruit to sweet yellow flowers, with hints of citrus and balsamic herbs.
Our Garganega Veneto IGT has its home on a grey marl seam, which we call “tère bianche” (white soil) here, that cuts the valley in half. It is a difficult soil to cultivate, hard and stingy in dry years and all too exuberant in wet ones. The vigour of the Garganega is well suited to this place, where the vines are arranged on wide terraces facing east, surrounded by orchards.
Pairings
Our Garganega is a white wine perfect to accompany ethnic cuisine: chicken curry or spicy first courses. It is not afraid to accompany fish au gratin and spicy first courses. We recommend serving at 12-14°C.
