Pera Mantovana
Food · PGI · 27 municipalities
Pera Mantovana, a European Protected Geographical Indication recognized since 1998, occupies a highly specific agricultural niche in Lombardy. Its official cultivation zone is restricted to 27 designated municipalities, including Bagnolo San Vito and Borgo Mantovano. What sets this denomination apart from neighboring Italian fruit origins is a stark administrative anomaly: currently, there are zero verified producers active under the designation. While the legal protection remains firmly established for these 27 northern municipalities, this absence of registered growers leaves the commercial output of Pera Mantovana at an absolute standstill, differentiating it from active, thriving neighboring pear denominations.
