Suavia
25.50 €
The Garganega grape variety is considered one of the oldest and most important in Italy and is known worldwide for the production of Soave wine. In 500 B.C., a minister in the Lombard government of King Theodoric described the process of making this wine by air-drying the grapes, but it is unclear whether the grape used was Garganega. This grape variety is related to Susumaniello, the result of a cross between Garganega and Uva Sogra. It is characterized by a very large and long cluster of pyramidal conical shape, the berries are round with a yellow-green color that becomes slightly amber in full ripeness. Garganega grows mainly in the western part of Veneto, is very vigorous, sensitive to cold and common grape diseases and stem desiccation.
