San Martino della Battaglia
Wine · PDO · 5 municipalities
Recognised since 1996 across five Lombardy municipalities including Sirmione, the San Martino della Battaglia DOC distinguishes itself from neighboring appellations by centering on the Tocai Friulano grape, which must comprise at least 80% of the blend. This yields a dry white wine with a characteristic light almond aftertaste. Uniquely, the denomination of 80 verified producers also permits a fortified Liquoroso style. Crafted by adding alcohol to partially fermented must, this sweet variant reaches at least 15.0% total alcohol and a minimum of 40 grams per liter of residual sugar, sometimes blending in previous vintages aged in barrique.
