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.

Trebbiano di Soave is another name for Verdicchio; genetic studies have shown that they are identical. It is among the most important native grape varieties in Italy and is used for the production of all types of wine, the dry ones probably being the best, with excellent longevity. Verdicchio owes its name to the green color of the berries; it grows mainly in the Veneto and Marche regions, transported here in the 19th century by Venetian merchants. It is a popular grape variety among growers because of its ability to adapt to different soils and climates.
