'Soave is a very popular crisp, dry white wine from the Veneto region in northeast Italy, around the city of Verona.

The Soave production zone is situated in the eastern part of the hills in the province of Verona (north of the "Serenissima" highway, between the 18th and 25th kilometres of the Verona-Venezia road). The zone includes part or all of the lands belonging to the municipalities of Soave, Monteforte d'Alpone, San Martino Buon Albergo, Lavagno, Mezzane, Caldiero, Colognola, Illasi, Cazzano, San Bonifacio, Roncà, Montecchia and San Giovanni Ilarione.

Garganega is the designation’s principal grape variety, and over the centuries it has found an ideal habitat here in the contours of the Alpone, Tramigna, Illasi and Mezzane valleys. The use of the specification “Classico” with the designation “Soave” is reserved for the product made from grapes harvested and vinified in the municipalities of Soave and Monteforte d’Alpone, ie. the oldest, original “classic” zone.

Other than Soave, there are three notable red wines from the region: Valpolicella, Amarone and Bardolino.

Currently, there are over 3,500 distinct producers of Soave.
