The event that brings together the best Classic Method sparkling wines from Lombardy returns to Villa Mirra in Cavriana (MN).
In Lombardy, from Mantua to Bergamo, from Brescia to Milan, passing through Lecco, Pavia, Sondrio and Varese, there is an entire region of sparkling wines to discover. Giving voice to these productions will be Colline in Bolle – Rassegna dei Migliori Metodo Classico di Lombardia , which after the great success of the first edition will return to animate, on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 October , the spaces of Villa Mirra in Cavriana (MN ).
The choice of Villa Mirra, a highly representative place in the heart of the Garda Colli Mantovani DOC denominations, is not accidental. In fact, the Mantua area boasts a long tradition of Classic Method, a heritage to be protected and enhanced. This is the location chosen by La Strada dei Vini e dei Sapori Mantovani and ONAV Lombardia , who return to collaborate with the common goal of exalting the identity wines of all of Lombardy.
The event will see the participation of over 50 wineries from the provinces of Pavia, Brescia, Bergamo, Mantua, Lecco, Varese and Sondrio, offering a complete overview of Lombardy’s “bubbles”. The denominations Oltrepò Pavese DOCG, Garda DOC, Lugana DOP, Alpi Retiche IGT, Terre Lariane IGT, Terre del Colleoni DOC and Franciacorta DOCG will be the protagonists.
In addition to the area set up with producers’ tasting stands, the public will be able to participate in two exclusive Tasting Experiences . The first, scheduled for Saturday 26 October at 5:00 pm , will see the pairing of Metodo Classico and Grana Padano dei Prati Stabili Selezione da Fieno , curated by Daniela Guiducci and Latteria San Pietro. In this tasting, the aging of Grana Padano of 24 months and over 30 months will be presented. The second experience, scheduled for Sunday 27 October at 4:00 pm , will propose the pairing of Metodo Classico and caviar , again led by Daniela Guiducci in collaboration with Cru Caviar .
A crucial moment of the event will be the Conference “Metodo Classico and Grana Padano – two Lombard excellences” , which will be held on Saturday 26 October at 4:00 pm in the Sala Civica of Cavriana. The conference will celebrate the union between Grana Padano and Metodo Classico of Lombardy, two emblematic products that represent the excellence and food and wine tradition of the area. Among the prominent speakers are Stefano Pezzini, President of Latteria San Pietro – Grana Padano, Giovanna Prandini, President of Ascovilo, the Mayor of Cavriana Matteo Guardini and the President of the Strada dei vini e sapori mantovani Gianni Boselli.
