The Bardolino designation extends along the eastern shore of Lake Garda, in the province of Verona, Veneto. A unique territory in Italy for its climatic and landscape complexity, ranging from the Mediterranean climate along the lake's coast—where olive trees, citrus plants, and bougainvillea alternate—to the continental and flat area of Sommacampagna, up to Monte Baldo with its distinctly mountainous climate. This climatic richness, combined with that of the soil, the result of the same glaciers that shaped Lake Garda millions of years ago, is reflected in the glass with three main protagonists: Chiaretto di Bardolino—first in Italy among rosé wines—Bardolino, and Bardolino Sottozone, the red expression of the Veneto's principal native grape variety, Corvina Veronese.

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”.

The Casetto farm was founded in 1999 when Aldo and Luana Brancher decided to go back home to their native Verona and find the perfect place to bring up their three children, Chiara, Alessandra and Andrea.
Now, the Casetto farm is going through a generational change, with father Aldo handing the baton to his daughters Chiara and Alessandra, who will move forwards with the legacy left by their mother Luana, the guiding star of the whole family. Their plans are brave and ambitious, dictated by the love of making good wine, and imbued with the desire to convey to visitors the joy of living Lake Garda to the full.
Using grape varieties with fresh, young, fruity notes and vinifying with loving care is the secret behind our wines. Body and balance, delicacy and strength of aromas and flavours are the hallmarks of our selection of DOC and IGT certified local wines with big personalities.
The Giovanna Tantini Farm extends between the municipalities of Castelnuovo del Garda and Sona in the province of Verona, on the morainic hills overlooking Lake Garda.
The estate, which has been entirely owned by the Tantini family since the early 1900s, has 13 hectares of vineyards planted with red grapes (Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, Cabernet S., Merlot) and white grapes (Garganega, Trebbianello, Chardonnay).
The winery is managed by Giovanna Tantini who, since the second half of the 1990s, has focused on promoting the region's grape varieties, directly overseeing all stages of production, from the vineyard to vinification and aging.
For Giovanna Tantini, quality is the first and only consideration. Every decision is made only after asking the question: “Will this make the wine better?”
She has always believed that Bardolino and Chiaretto di Bardolino fully deserve a place on the best tables in the world, thanks to a production process that is attentive to the needs of each variety, minimizes intervention in the cellar, and always produces wines that are a true expression of the territory, soil, and climate.
Family artisanal winery close to Lake Garda, north east of Italy. First vintage dates back to 1984 and now our winery is considered a benchmark for the dop Bardolino. We grow Corvina, Rondinella and Garganega, all local grapes. All wines are low-intervention and certified organic since 2009. Our sales are 70% export. Our main focus is on elegant, light body reds, chilleable too, and rosè wines.
aaaTenuta La Presa was born from the vision and passion of the Dei Micheli family.
In 1995, they made the bold and ambitious decision to acquire a 30-hectare estate in Caprino Veronese, known as "La Presa," laying the foundation for what would evolve into a renowned wine estate.
Today, with 100 hectares of land and two state-of-the-art wineries—one dedicated to production and the other to aging—Tenuta La Presa stands as one of the most beautiful and esteemed wineries in the Verona region.
Adelino, Marilena, Fabio, and Serena work together every day, driven by their shared passion, with the goal of crafting exceptional wines that reflect the unique character of this extraordinary terroir.
The story of Cristoforetti and Delibori is one of genuine friendship, respect for the land, and a commitment to people, passed down from generation to generation. This shared passion is embraced by a young, dedicated team with a deep-rooted connection to the territory.
Founded over 50 years ago in 1971 by Walter Delibori and Giorgio Cristoforetti, Vigneti Villabella is the agricultural estate of the Cristoforetti and Delibori group. Located in Calmasino, in the province of Verona, it lies in the heart of the Bardolino Classico region on the morainic hills overlooking Lake Garda.
This winery brings out the finest qualities of the land, crafting unique, authentic wines in a responsible, ethical context that balances people, landscape, and nature. It is a tradition that has adapted and evolved over time, continuously seeking improvement to create wines that embody the character of their origins.
Today, the legacy of tradition and the foresight to invest in the future is carried on by Walter and Giorgio's children. Tiziano Delibori oversees wine production, originally with quality control support from his son Umberto, who has sadly passed away, while Tiziano’s daughter Lorenza serves as Maître de Maison. Franco Cristoforetti leads the commercial side, with his sister Angela managing administration.
Vigneti Villabella produces all of Verona’s great classic wines with protected designation of origin, such as Bardolino, Chiaretto, Valpolicella, Ripasso, Amarone, Lugana, Custoza, Soave, and Garda.
The heart of the Vigneti Villabella estate is Villa Cordevigo in Cavaion Veronese, located inland from Lake Garda. This lush, organic oasis spans a hundred hectares, encompassing vineyards, olive groves, cypress forests, and spring waters, all preserved to protect the area’s soul and biodiversity.
At the center of the estate stands Villa Cordevigo, an 18th-century historic residence now dedicated to hospitality and promoting the region's wines. The restoration and preservation of Villa Cordevigo represent the culmination of a visionary project by both families to enhance the region and protect the environment and the community that lives there.
