    Cartella stampa Galleria fotografica: www.fotocru.it/oliogarda/ Il territorio La zona di produzione delle olive del Garda è caratterizzata dalla presenza delle catene montuose a nord e del più grande lago italiano, che rendono il clima gardesano simile a quello mediterraneo e mitigano gli effetti dell’ambiente che, alla latitudine della zona del Garda, sarebbero altrimenti ostili allo sviluppo degli olivi. Le piogge, ben distribuite durante tutto l’anno, salvaguardano gli olivi da stress idrici ed evitano il formarsi di ristagni che sarebbero dannosi sia alla pianta, sia alla qualità dell’olio. Le zone di produzione I produttori dell'oro del lago di Garda sono suddivisi in 67 comuni, per un totale di una ottantina di etichette. Le cultivar più diffuse in questo microclima mediterraneo sono Casaliva, Frantoio e Leccino. Secondo il disciplinare di produzione queste sono le percentuali di cultivar che devono essere presenti per la denominazione DOP nelle tre sottozone: Garda Bresciano DOP Casaliva, Frantoio, Leccino ≥ 55% Garda Orientale DOP Casaliva, Frantoio, Leccino ≥ 55% Garda Trentino DOP Casaliva, Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino ≥ 80% La Casaliva La cultivar principale e autoctona del territorio del Garda è la Casaliva. Si racconta che venne prescelta dagli olivicoltori della zona per l’ottima resa, la grande qualità e perché genera un olio delicato, fine, ideale per diversi abbinamenti. La Casaliva porta anche il nome di Drizzar, perché si dice che fosse in grado di raddrizzare le sorti del raccolto, maturando anche in maniera scalare e tardiva. Uno dei fattori che l'ha resa protagonista di questo territorio infatti è la sua capacità di adattarsi al clima e al terreno, di sopravvivere ad una gelata e di resistere ai parassiti.

    Valeggio Sul Mincio: a Scaligeri Fortress, a Fairy Tale Riverside Village and One of the Most Beautiful Parks in Europe

    31 MARCH 2016 CATERINA POMINI 4941 VALEGGIO SUL MINCIO: A SCALIGERI FORTRESS, A FAIRY TALE RIVERSIDE VILLAGE AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PARKS IN EUROPE Crossed by the Mincio River and located about 25 km southwest of Verona, Valeggio sul Mincio dates back to the Lombard period and despite its small size, there are at least 3 good reasons why you should pay a visit: a 13th-14th century castle, a picturesque riverside village and a gorgeous “parco-giardino” which was awarded the second prize for the most beautiful European garden in 2015. Nestled in the Mincio Valley, about halfway between Lake Garda and Mantua, Valeggio sul Mincio can definitely be called a border village: gently crossed by a Lombard river, it is the last outpost of Veneto before you hit Lombardy and unavoidably represents a bridge between two regions, a confluence of two distinct cultures. The first thing that hits your eye when you get to Valeggio sul Mincio is the imposing Scaligeri Fortress, which was once incorporated into the massive fortification complex known as Serraglio and looms over Valeggio on one side and Borghetto to the other. Built between the 13th and the 14th century, the function of this castle was to control the “Borghetto ford”, which provided the safest possible passage to travellers across the Mincio River, a natural barrier between Mantua and Verona. The tiny village of Borghetto – as picturesque as picturesque can be – was established in the Middle Ages close to this extremely important strategic point and, through the centuries, witnessed the passage of millions of pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostela, the Knights Templar, the Scaligeri, the Visconti, the Gonzaga, the Most Serene Republic of Venice, the French and the Austrian army.

E’ considerato il più mediterraneo dei laghi alpini italiani. Al suo interno sono presenti numerose isole tra le quali la più famosa ed estesa è quella di Garda.
