HISTORY AND PRESENT:

The Lenotti company was founded in 1906 on the banks of Lake Garda in the heart of the hilly area of Bardolino set amongst the vineyards and olive groves. The area is particularly well adapted to the growing of the vine and has an especially fortunate climate due to the influence of Lake Garda itself which helps avoid extremes of weather.

The Lenotti wine cellar is located in Bardolino and is harmoniously set into this lakeside landscape and house up-to-date equipment for the making, storing and bottling of wine. Particular care and attention is dedicated to the quality and selection of grapes, each variety coming only from its specific typical area, and to the separate wine making processes carried out during the harvests from the individual vineyards. From these latter come the highest quality wines produced with our own grapes to be found in the special selections of the “Selezioni di Lenotti” range.

Our vineyards are considered for their position, system of growing and wine quality among the best of the region. In the Lenotti cellar (the company has the Quality Certification UNI EN ISO 9001:2000) each production process is followed with the strictest respect for the purest traditions in wine making combined with the use of the most up-to date methods, like low temperature fermentation, temperature controlled storage and sterile cold bottling lines.

An innovative technology for the reduction of sulphurus anhydride, is applied to all products with results that can be defined “extraordinary” as far as maintaining genuine character and longevity are concerned. Our wines are thus able to develop their own personality and typical taste while maintaining the highest levels of quality.

“We are pleased and proud to present to selected customers the finest of our production which is truly the result of nature, tradition, professionalism and our own pride in our wines”.
