ATMOSFERE

La meditazione

Perlage and dolce vita: this is Atmosfere. An elegant classic method, which is part of our continuous search to elevate the Groppello. It shares the same nature of the Sotto Sopra. The little pastry notes and the aromas of elderflower and acacia make it harmonious and captivating. It is sold after at least 42 months on the yeast lees: the perfect time to enjoy its complexity and the white pepper notes typical of the Groppello vine.

VISTA LAGO

Valtènesi Riviera del Garda Classico D.O.P. Riserva

La meditazione

A pure expression of the Groppello, Vista Lago comes from the vineyards located near to the shore of the lake. The temperature range gives the grapes a greater intensity of aromas. Each bunch is selected, dried in small crates, pressed, and put to rest during a long and careful fermentation. The partial passage in French oak barrels gives life to a potent, elegant, and vertical wine.

SOTTOSOPRA

La Follia

Our wildest child is an evolution of the Groppello, a classic method vinified in white. Sotto Sopra is a tumultuous wine. It sits on the lees for at least 18 to 24 months and gives the client the chance to choose its evolution and level of complexity, according to their taste. The second fermentation on the yeasts reveals itself in the classic cloudy color and in the yeasty, toasted, and citrus aromas. A wine of passion and madness.

RE DESIDERIO

Il Blend

A noble wine, strong and brave, which tells the story of the Valtènesi through the complexity of its character. The choice of naming it Re Desiderio, like the king of the Lombards and forefather of the people of Brescia, is not by chance. The story of this wine is intertwined with the history of this land and its protagonists: a story of conquests and evolution – no longer on the battlefield, but in the bottle.

VALTÈNESI

Riviera del Garda Classico Chiaretto D.O.P.

Drinking our Chiaretto Valtènesi means enjoying moments of conviviality accompanied by the freshness and elegance of a wine as pink as the sunsets on the lake. It means finding the typical mineral notes given by the morainic territory in a savory, but harmonious chalice. It’s like tasting Lake Garda and its unique microclimate through the indigenous vine Groppello, the main protagonist of this blend, which is vinified in white using the ancient Molmenti method. A wine to enjoy all year round, especially after a longer aging.
