Territorio

The morainic hills of Upper Mantua, where the Bertagna winery is located, opens south, a fan, on the Po Valley, which expands in the direction of the Po river, while north they embrace the southern part of Lake Garda, and it is precisely by looking in this direction that on clear days you can see the mountains, including the unmistakable profile of Monte Baldo. The reliefs of this hilly “arch” have altitudes that rarely exceed 200 meters a.s.l., but this low altitude and the beneficial proximity of the lake, with its mild, almost Mediterranean climate, are enough to keep away the Po valley fog in the winter an the summer heat.

From the administrative point of view, these hills occupy the northern end of the province of Mantua, the city is about 30 kilometers from our winery, which is located in the town of Cavriana, in the locality of Bande. The beautiful village of Cavriana, charming and evocative, with its fortress and Romanesque parish church, borders with Solferino, the town known for the battle fought during the Second War of Indipendence, and with Monzambano, another historical Risorgimento town, and its halmet of Castellaro Lagusello, which is part of the association of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
