Mantuan Wine and Flavours Route – Lombardy: cultivated fields, rolling hills and flavours that speak of land and tradition. The Mantuan Wine and Flavour Route crosses a wide and varied territory, from the morainic hills of the north to the agricultural landscape of the Mantuan Oltrepò, passing through the city of Mantua and its water valleys. It is an itinerary that tells the Lombard countryside in its most authentic form: made up of vineyards, orchards, vegetable gardens and small villages rich in history. 🍇 Local wines and hills of character: The protagonists are Garda Colli Mantovani DOC, in white, red and rosé versions, and Lambrusco Mantovano DOC, a lively and convivial wine. The vineyards stretch out on sandy and hilly soils, where the Garda breeze meets the influence of the plains. 👉 Tip: Visit a winery around Cavriana or Volta Mantovana to discover how the climate and the land shape unique aromas and flavors, often still linked to family viticulture. 🌽 Fruit, cheeses and traditional dishes: The route includes typical products such as the Mantuan Pear PGI, melon, pumpkin, Sermide Onion and artisanal cured meats. In the country trattorias, pumpkin tortelli, risotto alla pilota, pike in sauce and aged cheeses such as Grana Padano are served. The cuisine is straightforward, generous, linked to the season and memory. 👉 Tip: Stop in an agricultural courtyard with home cooking: you will find authentic flavors and a warm welcome, away from the tourist circuits. 🚶 ♀️ Routes between villages, water and countryside: The road winds through Mantua, Sabbioneta, San Benedetto Po, Castellaro Lagusello and many other towns full of discreet charm. The routes alternate cultivated fields, waterways and panoramic hills, with the possibility of visiting abbeys, villas, castles and small museums of taste. 👉 Tip: Depart from Mantua and head up to Lake Garda along the morainic hills: you will find viewpoints, wineries with tastings and companies that open their doors for you to taste local products. 🧺 Experiences between vineyards and farms: The Road is also made up of meetings: farmhouses, oil mills, honey producers, horticultural companies and artisan pasta factories offer guided tours, tastings and workshops. It is a concrete way to get closer to Mantua's agricultural culture and discover the quality hidden behind each ingredient. 👉 Tip: Organize a weekend of tastings and visits: many companies also offer accommodation in the countryside, perfect for a regenerating break among the rows of vines and fruit trees. The Mantuan Wine and Flavour Route is a journey into the roots of the Lombard plain, where each product tells a story of seasons, work and living tradition.
