The region is made up of hills and valleys and the wine must be made from a short list of native grapes. The example from Cantina del Garda for example is made with Corvina grapes grown in morainic hills with a good concentration of calcium and clay in the soil. It is vinous and pleasantly intense with red grapefruit scents. The palate is soft, full-bodied with green pepper notes and a long finish.
