Garda

Wine · PDO · 76 municipalities

Recognized since 2004, the Garda DOC encompasses 76 municipalities, including Affi in the province of Verona. What distinguishes this denomination from neighboring Italian appellations is its specific rules for blending and the complete absence of a "riserva" category. While single-varietal wines are permitted, Garda uniquely allows bi-varietal options only if the minor variety exceeds 15% of the final blend. For the representative Garda Bianco, which limits maximum yield to 18.0 t/ha, a minimum 50% of Garganega, Trebbiano, Chardonnay, or Pinot Grigio is mandatory, producing a delicate bouquet of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit.
