Torre del Falasco Garganega 2025
£9.25
The wine
Golden in colour, with a fresh perfume of acacia flowers and citrus fruit. The palate has real richness.
Garganega is the grape of Soave, late-ripening with high acidity and a faintly bitter almond finish, grown here in the hills around Verona rather than in the Soave zone proper. DNA testing has shown it to be the same variety as Sicily Grecanico Dorato, which is a long way for a grape to travel. Torre del Falasco is the label of Cantina Valpantena, the co-operative of the Valpantena valley just north of Verona.

This is classic Veneto red country, the home of Corvina and the great wines of Valpolicella, from fresh everyday reds to the mighty Amarone.
The range covers the full sweep of the region's styles, from a juicy young Valpolicella through Ripasso and Amarone to the historic sweet Recioto. Each is made with care and a real respect for tradition, capturing the warmth and generosity of the Verona hills.
Well-made, generous and honestly priced, these are wines that punch well above their weight. They offer a complete tour of one of Italy's most loved red-wine regions in a single range.
Serve them cool, with everything from pizza and pasta to slow-braised meats, and taste the warmth of the hills above Verona.
