Lombardy
Alpine Lake Sophistication
"The pinnacle of Italian refinement: Where Metodo Classico reaches its highest expression and alpine vineyards defy gravity."
Terroir of Contrasts: Lakes and Peaks
The geography of Lombardy is a unique oenological privilege. Under the supervision of the Association of Lombardy Wine Consortia (Ascovilo), the region leads technical innovation in Italy, perfecting the use of varietals such as Pinot Noir and alpine Nebbiolo.
From the hills of Franciacorta to the terraces of Valtellina, this territory is recognized by institutions such as the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) for its ability to balance historical tradition with a fresh and contemporary vision that conquers global markets.

Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) reds cultivated in "heroic viticulture". This area, protected by the Valtellina Wine Consortium, produces examples like Sforzato, a wine of great power and aging potential.
Oltrepò Pavese and Lugana
From the characterful Pinot Noir of the southern Po to the saline white wines of the Turbiana grape on the shores of Garda, highlighted by international critics in Wine Enthusiast for their gastronomic versatility.
