The History Of Moniga Del Garda

As for the other villages of the coast of Brescia, the history of Moniga del Garda is linked
to the Roman and Venetian domination and to the Barbarian invasions.

There are two different interpretations of its name: some believe it to derive from the Germanic toponym
“Morn” and others from the Greek deity “Diana Munichia”.

Inhabited since the Bronze Age, Moniga del Garda boasts among its beauties the Church of San Martino,
one of the oldest churches of Valtènesi, and the Castle of the tenth century,
with its mighty rectangular walls that testifies the historical and traditional soul of the town.

Although Moniga del Garda has expanded in recent decades thanks to the significant increase in tourism,
the old town centre still retains its original mediaeval charm,
with narrow alleys from which it is possible to admire
charming corners of the lake and fascinating architectural details.

A small jewel of the region, to be visited and lived in all year round.

Local Wines And Flavours

Also known as the “City of Chiaretto”, Moniga del Garda is renowned for its rosé wine,
the “Garda DOC Classico Chiaretto”, also known as “wine of a night”
due to its vinification technique that takes place over the course of a single night.
Every year, in June, Moniga del Garda hosts “Valtènesi in Rosa”,
a traditional event that celebrates the rosé wines of the entire Garda area.

Also significant is the production of olive oil, a key ingredient in the local cuisine:
Lake Garda is the most northern place in the world where olive trees grow,
cultivated since Roman times thanks to the Mediterranean microclimate.
“Garda DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil” is an integral part of the history and cuisine of the area
and is distinguished by its delicate, elegant flavour and light, well-balanced aromas
of the three main varieties: Casaliva, Frantoio and Leccino.
