San Colombano al Lambro DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
The only DOC in the province of Milan, a single hill rising out of the Po plain that the Milanese have farmed since Roman times. The red is a Croatina and Barbera blend, sometimes lightly fizzy, with plum, blackberry, violet and a rustic, slightly bitter tannin. The white uses the local Verdea grape with Chardonnay for a light, appley wine. Nettare dei Santi is the estate keeping the name alive; the wines are mostly drunk within an hour's drive.
