A large open-air cellar for a summer festival sponsored by the Veneto Region and the Municipality of Garda, supporter of the initiative, created by the Associazione Hostaria Verona in collaboration with the Garda DOC Consortium and the Mantovani Vini Consortium. “We are pleased to take part in Street Wine Garda – underlines the President of the Garda DOC Consortium Paolo Fiorini – at the same time a special walk around tasting in the different wine production areas and a place of storytelling where wine lovers can learn more about the typical features of the Denomination. The Garda DOC wines are born in an unparalleled geographical area, a unique place surrounded by the Alps and illuminated by a body of water, where thanks to a special, constantly temperate climate, you can breathe Mediterranean air, surrounded by vegetation that remember the typicality. The wines of the Denomination are emblematic of these unique characteristics.” Created to give representation to the varietal wines of the historic production areas of the Garda area, between the provinces of Verona, Mantua and Brescia, and therefore enhance all those wines without any indication or territorial recognition, the DOC Garda has seen its production expand over the years, to also include sparkling wine production and the White and Red types. One of the areas of intervention in which the Consortium has moved most and with great success in recent years is undoubtedly the consolidation of the image of Garda wines, understood as valorising the existence of these wine excellences, with the aim of ensure that their value is, first of all, perceived and understood by both the consumer and the producer himself.
