Garganega is a historic white grape variety predominantly cultivated in Italy's Veneto region, especially in the provinces of Verona and Vicenza. It serves as the primary grape in Soave wines, where it must constitute at least 70% of the blend. Beyond Veneto, Garganega is also found in regions like Umbria and Friuli. ​

The grape is known for its late ripening and thick skins, contributing to its high acidity and versatility in winemaking. Wines produced from Garganega often exhibit flavors of white flowers, apricot, citrus, yellow apple, and hay. 

In terms of cultivation, Garganega is Italy's sixth most widely planted white grape variety. As of 2010, approximately 10,253 hectares were dedicated to Garganega cultivation in Italy.
