Harvest and Biodiversity in Our Cellar
Every year, the grape harvest in our winery is a moment of great emotion and commitment. Among the hills of Valtenesi, near the beautiful Lake Garda, we harvest our grapes by hand, preserving tradition and respecting the nature that surrounds us. This process is at the heart of our work, and allows us to create your beloved wines, the fruit of an environment rich in biodiversity and careful attention to every stage of production.
The Harvest: A Traditional Process
Harvesting in our cellar is done entirely by hand, a method that allows us to precisely select only the best grapes. This artisanal approach ensures that each stage of the harvest respects the natural rhythms of the vine and preserves the quality of the grapes. Harvesting by hand is not just a technical choice, but a true philosophy that binds us to the land and its traditions.
On harvest days, the vineyard is filled with life. Our experienced and passionate teams move between the rows carefully, knowing that each bunch is the result of a year's work and care. This attention to detail is reflected in our wines, which bring all the richness and complexity of the Valtenesi terroir into the glass.
Biodiversity: A Commitment to the Future
One of our main goals is to preserve the biodiversity in our vineyards. The Valtenesi is a unique area, characterised by a diverse ecosystem and lush nature, which offers ideal conditions for viticulture. We firmly believe that a healthy and fertile vineyard depends on the wealth of life that surrounds it: insects, plants and animals contribute to a balanced and sustainable environment.
At a time when climate change is challenging viticulture, biodiversity is the key to a more resilient agriculture. In our vineyards, we integrate native fauna and flora, protect the soil and promote crop rotation to maintain a natural balance. This allows us to cultivate our vines in a more responsible and sustainable way, resulting in wines with a unique and authentic character.
A Unique Environment: Valtenesi and Lake Garda
The location of our wine cellar, between the gentle hills of the Valtenesi and the breeze of Lake Garda, is a fundamental element of the quality of our products. This area, with its unique microclimate, is perfect for growing grapes destined for fresh, fragrant wines with great personality.
The favourable climatic conditions, together with our attention to biodiversity and the artisanal care of the vineyards, allow us to produce wines that fully express the territory from which they come. Our rosé wines, the symbol of Valtenesi, are flanked by white, red and sparkling wines, all made with the utmost respect for the environment.
In addition to the wines, we are proud to produce a Garda DOP olive oil, cold-pressed from our olives, which tells the same story of passion, care and respect for nature.
The current harvest is therefore more than just a simple harvest: it is the celebration of a year of work and dedication, a moment in which the energy of nature is transformed into extraordinary wines, thanks to the synergy between man and the environment.
If you want to discover this process up close and have an authentic experience, we are waiting for you in our winery and country house, where tradition and innovation meet to offer wines that tell the story of an area rich in biodiversity and beauty.
