Lombardia has 5 DOCG, 21 DOC and 15 IGT designations. Its seven wine areas include Oltrepò Pavese, south of the Po in the Northern Apennines; Franciacorta, between Brescia and Lake Iseo; and Valtellina, where 750 hectares of vineyards climb rocky slopes from roughly 300 to nearly 800 metres behind 2,500 kilometres of dry-stone walls.
In Valtellina, Nebbiolo is known as Chiavennasca. Rosso di Valtellina is the younger, fresher style; Valtellina Superiore is deep, austere and tannic, with finesse and delicacy; and Sforzato, also called Sfursat, is a dry red passito made from selected dried Nebbiolo grapes. Lugana, on the morainic plain south of Lake Garda, is based on Turbiana. Its whites combine freshness, mineral character and weight. Oltrepò's Metodo Classico tradition centres on blanc de noirs and rosé de noirs, while Buttafuoco is a powerful, ageworthy red based on Barbera and Croatina.
