Sabbioneta IGT is a red wine with a medium body and balanced acidity. It boasts an intense red color that leans towards a deep ruby, almost garnet with aging. The bouquet is delicate and fragrant with hints of ripe red fruits, spices, and a slight hint of tobacco. Upon tasting, it reveals a dry, warm, and velvety flavor, leaving a harmonious and persistent finish.

History

The Sabbioneta IGT wine designation was introduced in 1995 as part of Italy's quality wine scheme to recognize and promote the unique wine production in the Lombardy region. This wine is made predominantly from the Barbera grape, which has been grown in the area for centuries.

Geographical Production Area

The wine is produced in the Sabbioneta region, located in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy. This area is characterized by its fertile, alluvial soils and a continental climate with significant temperature variations between day and night, which helps to ripen the grapes while preserving their acidity and aromatic profile. The vineyards are located on flatlands and gentle hills, allowing for optimal sun exposure.
