Lake Garda red wines - Garda Colli Mantovani DOC Rosso del Forte
This lake Garda red wine is made from four varieties of red grapes: Merlot, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, cultivated on the very characteristic terroir of the Garda morainic hills, in the department of Mantova.
The particular terroir, combined with this unique blend of international and autochthonous grape varieties, gives a ruby-red colour, a fragrant and complex bouquet, both fruity and floral and a full bodied, intense flavour.
