la strada dei Vini e Sapori Mantovani

A journey through the wines, flavours, historical-architectural beauties and naturalistic heritage of the Mantua area.
If Mantua is one of the main Italian cities of art, its territory is also famous for its rich gastronomy and the products of the land, among which the vine occupies a privileged place, flanked by pears, melons, onions and cereals. Here the winemaking tradition finds its best expression thanks to the conformation of the land, the exposure to the sun and the mild climate. Currently in the Garda Colli Mantovani DOC area there are more than a thousand hectares of vineyards; The centuries-old tradition of wine culture in the Lambrusco Mantovano DOC area is also ancient and fortunate.
A journey through the nature and civilization of Mantua cannot fail to take into consideration the profound imprint brought to these places by the Gonzaga dynasty, who combined the pleasures of sight and imagination with those of taste.
