Provincia di Mantova

Wine · PGI · 64 municipalities

Recognised since 1999, the Provincia di Mantova IGT spans 64 municipalities across Lombardy, including Acquanegra sul Chiese. What sets this denomination apart from neighbouring areas is its distinctive vinification rules. Its rosato wines must be vinified strictly in bianco, while the Lambrusco category permits six combined subvarieties to be vinified as white wine. Additionally, the Cabernet designation allows Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to be combined for a minimum of 85%. Crafted by 21 verified producers, these wines require a minimum alcohol content of 8.5% and permit a maximum yield of 26.0 tonnes per hectare.
