Wine Tasting at Cantine Giubertoni near Mantua

This wine tasting in Mantua takes place at Cantine Giubertoni in Bagnolo San Vito, a winery where the passion for wine has been handed down through generations. The welcome is familiar and genuine rather than formal.

First you walk through the vineyards to meet the native varieties grown on the Mantua plain. Then you step inside the winery to follow how the wine is made, aged and bottled, looking closely at the barrels and the traditional techniques.

The tour ends with a guided tasting of three selected wines, with an explanation of what each glass shows in colour, aroma and taste. Local products come alongside to bring out the wines:

• Cold cuts
• Cheeses
• Fresh bread

All the way through you can talk directly with the producers, ask your questions and hear about the history of the winery and of Mantuan wine culture. It lasts about an hour, led by a sommelier or an expert. It suits people who want a tasting away from the usual tourist routes, and it is not open to guests under 18.
