Territorio
Valtènesi and the lake, cultivated by the same family.
We cultivate 55 hectares of vineyards in Valtènesi and 30 along the lake, with a further 10 hectares set to join our estate over the coming years. Different soils, different exposures, guided by the same dedication and care.
Valtènesi
The band of hills the glacier left on the Brescia shore, each one looking out over the lake behind the last.
Morainic soils, gravelly and lean, quick to drain and forcing the vine to reach down. They face the water: the light arrives twice, from above and reflected.

The lake shore
The lower stretch toward the water, where the hills give way to the shore.
Compact white clays, rich in minerals, holding water and giving back freshness even through long summers. This is the soil that gives Chardonnay its backbone.
A lake that behaves like a sea.
Lake Garda stores heat through the summer and gives it back in winter: frost is rare here, and the breeze climbs every afternoon, drying the bunches. It is why olives grow at this latitude, and why the grapes ripen without losing acidity.
Allowing the terroir to speak for itself.
In the winery, we work sustainably, respecting both the land and the natural rhythm of each harvest. Every vintage is guided by the same philosophy: allowing the terroir to speak for itself.
