The appellation became a DOC in 1968, and its foundation is the Garganega grape, which must make up at least 70 per cent of the wine. The rest is usually Trebbiano di Soave, and many of the best bottles are pure Garganega. Styles run from fresh and light to full and age-worthy, often with yellow fruit, white flowers and the gently bitter almond note Soave is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoil explains much of the difference between wines. In the west, around the town of Soave, limestone dominates and gives rounder, fruitier wines. In the east, around Monteforte d'Alpone, weathered volcanic rock gives tauter, more mineral wines.
