The story
The winery is a family-run operation that has converted the family home into a place dedicated to wine: the estate and facilities were renovated to carry out the entire production cycle on-site. Company materials name several family members who are now involved in the business, and over time the activity has expanded through the purchase of vineyards on the shores of Lake Garda for wines such as Custoza and Bardolino.
Production philosophy
The approach blends local tradition with modern technology, focusing on land stewardship, hand-harvesting the grapes and direct oversight of production and bottling. The winery favors wines that express the character of the terroir and are approachable, while also valuing classic techniques such as the appassimento used for Amarone.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate operates in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, with vineyards situated on clayey and calcareous soils at elevations typical of the area. The estate also has vineyards on the eastern shore of Lake Garda for white wines such as Custoza.
