Garganega is a very ancient vine, whose first official recognition seems to date back to 1200 in the famous treatise by Pietro de ‘Crescenzi in which we talk about Garganica, but it is certain that traces of this name and of the vine were there at least from the year 1000.
The municipality of Gambellara is the epicenter of an area with an ancient winemaking tradition in which the Garganega dominates to the point that it is also locally called “Gambellara”. It is also widespread in Puglia and Sicily, which in the latter region is cultivated under the name of “Grecanico Dorato”.
Wine Characteristics
From the Garganega grape a straw yellow colored wine is obtained, with a fairly intense, floral and fruity aroma. The taste is pleasantly balanced between freshness and softness, with a medium structure and a discreet taste-olfactory persistence.
