What grows here
Sabbioneta
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Sabbioneta’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008 celebrated its birth as an 'ideal' Renaissance city, a legacy of deliberate design that extends to its agricultural fields. Within this strictly defined territory, 15 protected denominations thrive. The jewel of this limited landscape is Sabbioneta IGT, a rare wine restricted to a tiny zone of just 3 municipalities. The sandy, alluvial soils of this Mantuan enclave also nurture the fizzy Lambrusco Mantovano DOC and the exceptionally sweet Melone Mantovano IGP, proving that Renaissance perfectionism shaped both the town’s brickwork and its hyper-local agriculture.
