Appellation Lombardia - IGT

The Lombardy region, located in northern Italy, is a wine-growing 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 such as Chardonnay and Merlot, as well as local varieties like Croatina and Barbera. The wines from this area are popular for their ability to pair with a wide range of dishes, notably Italian specialties like risotto and cheese. In addition to still wines, Lombardy is particularly famous for Franciacorta, a high-quality sparkling wine often compared to Champagne. Lombardy producers are placing an increasing emphasis on sustainable practices, thus reinforcing their commitment to quality and environmental respect. This wine region is a treasure for any wine enthusiast looking to explore the diverse expressions of Italian wine.
