Appellation Lombardy - IGT

The Lombardy region, located in northern Italy, is a wine-producing area of great richness and variety, benefiting from the Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) designation. This designation is known for its diversity of wine styles, including elegant reds, refreshing whites, and delicate rosés. The climatic influences from the Alps and the Mediterranean, combined with the region's varied soils, allow for the production of wines with complex and well-balanced aromatic profiles. The grape varieties grown in Lombardy include international varieties like Chardonnay and Merlot, as well as local varieties such as Croatina and Barbera. The wines from this region are popular for their ability to pair with a wide range of dishes, including Italian specialities like risotto and cheese. In addition to still wines, Lombardy is particularly famous for Franciacorta, a high-quality sparkling wine often compared to Champagne. Producers in Lombardy are increasingly focusing on sustainable practices, thus reinforcing their commitment to quality and environmental respect. This wine region is a treasure trove for any wine enthusiast looking to explore the multiple expressions of Italian wine.
