What grows here
San Giorgio Bigarello
11 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
San Giorgio Bigarello, a commune in Lombardy's Mantova province, solidified its identity on January 1, 2019, from the union of San Giorgio di Mantova and Bigarello. This recent merger brought together diverse agricultural terrains, giving rise to 11 distinct protected food and wine denominations rooted within its boundaries. Central to this bounty is the Provincia di Mantova IGT, a wine appellation spanning 64 municipalities, whose viticulture flourishes on the fertile plains around the municipal seat of Mottella. Beyond its notable wines, the area's specialized animal husbandry and curing traditions yield prized products such as Coppa di Parma IGP and Salame d'oca di Mortara IGP, each a true expression of this unique territory.
