THE LOCAL AREA
The variety and geological and geographic complexity of the province of Mantova makes for some interesting wines.
The territory benefits from geological diversity and a varied microclimate. These factors separate wine production into two main areas. One of these is flat and sub-divided into two typical zones known as Oltrepo Mantovano and Viadanese-Sabbionetano, where the Lambrusco grapes are grown. The other is the area of the morainic hills, ideal for cultivation of a wide range of grape varieties including Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Grigio and Sauvignon.

This area occupies the southeastern part of what is known as the morainic amphitheatre. Encompasses the Garda basin, forming a suggestive chain of low hills in the northern part of the province of Mantova.
MANTOVAN WINE CONSORTIUM
The Consorzio Vini Mantovani (Mantovan Wine Consortium) promotes Mantovan viticulture and enology. It protects and supervises the various denominations it represents. Furthermore it provides international visibility for a territory that boasts high quality production, from Lambrusco Mantovano to wines from Mantova’s morainic hills.
MANTOVA
A city of art, history, culture, nature, food and wine...
There is certainly at least one good reason to visit!

Arriving in Mantova you are struck by its unaltered charm and unique and welcoming atmosphere. It is a city that takes your breath away as you admire it from the shores of the lakes. Apparently suspended on the water, it dominates an almost surreal landscape made up of history, art and nature. Mantova is not intended for a quick visit though. The squares, small streets, and the cobblestones invite the visitor to wander slowly from one historic building to another in this city declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the nearby Sabbioneta. History, art and culture are inexorably intertwined everywhere in Mantova, while all around it is a habitat of inestimable naturalistic value. All these unique and magic places make Mantova a simply wonderful city.
