Garda Colli Mantovani
Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities
Recognized in 2004, the Garda Colli Mantovani DOC defines a specific viticultural enclave across six Lombardy municipalities, including Monzambano and Solferino. Cultivated by 21 verified producers, the denomination distinguishes itself from nearby wine zones through precise blending rules. Its dry white wines utilize Garganega, Chardonnay, and Trebbiano, restricting any aromatic grape additions to a strict maximum of 5%. Meanwhile, the red and pink Chiaretto wines require an unusual combined minimum of 85% Cabernet, Merlot, and Rondinella. Base white wines must reach at least 11.5% alcohol by volume, ensuring a dry, sapid profile from a maximum yield of 14.0 tonnes per hectare.
