Montenetto di Brescia
Wine · PGI · 6 municipalities
Established in 1999, the Montenetto di Brescia IGT is defined by its tight geographical constraint, restricted to just six municipalities south of Brescia, including Azzano Mella and Capriano del Colle, that cluster around the isolated hill of Monte Netto. While neighboring designations often allow higher liquid extractions, this territory distinguishes itself with a restrictive grape-to-wine yield capped at 75%, notably lower than the standard 80% limit found in most regional IGTs. Furthermore, the regulation enforces a strictly uniform maximum crop yield of 13.5 tons per hectare across all authorized grape varieties, from white Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco to red Marzemino and Barbera.
