- Garganega grapes are renowned for their role in producing the world-famous Soave wine, which stands as one of Italy’s oldest documented wines.
- As one of Italy’s most ancient and significant grape varieties, Garganega has played a pivotal role in shaping Italy’s viticultural landscape over the centuries. Notably, it is a parent of Puglia‘s Susumaniello, resulting from a natural crossing with Uva Sogra.
- Two distinct cultivars of Garganega are recognized: Garganega Comune and Garganega Grossa, also known as Garganegona, the latter officially designated as Dorona. In Sicily, it is encountered under the name Grecanico Dorato.
