Monte Netto, also called Monte di Capriano[1] (in Brescian dialect Montenèt) is an isolated hill in the northern part of the Bassa Bresciana, located between the municipal territories of Capriano del Colle, Flero and Poncarale, which reaches a maximum height of 133 m asl.
Characterized by the cultivation of vines, it is an area of production of the Capriano del Colle DOC wines (Capriano del Colle Rosso, Capriano del Colle Rosso Riserva, Capriano del Colle Novello Rosso, Capriano del Colle Trebbiano and Capriano del Colle Trebbiano Frizzante) and the IGT Montenetto wines. Its particular geological shape has prevented extensive anthropization, allowing the maintenance of distinctive fauna and flora. For this reason, the hill area and its foothills are protected within the regional park known as Monte Netto.
