Winery

Passion for the land and tradition

Grandfather Attilio founded our wine-producing business during the Second World War and today, his son Luigi continues to care for and keep this tradition alive. We produce DOC wines, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and, to complete the range, grappa.

Our vines and olive trees extend over an area of more than five hectares within the Bardolino classic zone. We grow the typical grape varieties for the area, namely Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and Garganega – all cared for with dedication and passion. In our winery, we make the grapes into wine inside temperature-controlled glazed cement vats and or in stainless-steel tanks.

We also directly manage the cultivation of our olive trees – typical varietals of this area as well, such as Casaliva, an indigenous Lake Garda variety, Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino.

During harvest time, the olives are taken when they are still really fresh to the local cooperative mill every day. Our olives are cold pressed separately and this produces our low acidity, light and fruity Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Grappa

Produced from our own grape marc personally selected by us. Excellent to finish a lunch or dinner and also to “correct” a coffee by adding it to an espresso.

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva

Extracted from the Casaliva, Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino varieties of locally grown olives, this olive oil is fruity, light and has a low acidity. Try it on pasta, bruschette, grilled and raw meat and with vegetables and fish. To appreciate its characteristics, try it on a piece of bread.

Our products can be tasted and purchased directly on the farm.

We are open every day during the summer season, from:
