You are what you do, and we are the proof of that. Our fathers, and our grandfathers before them, gained valuable knowledge of how to collect grapes during the harvest, acquired over years and years of experience. They have passed this wisdom down to us, and we still use their first-hand know-how in those important everyday decisions. Over the course of time, we have amassed new tools and new techniques, but we still remain the same at heart: farmers and wine artisans.

We, the winemakers of the region, decided to set up an organisation which unites us, represents us and protects our production: as such, in 1998, the Consorzio Garda Classico was born, subsequently renamed Consorzio Valtènesi in 2012. The objective: to safeguard, promote and add value to our products, distributing them across the region and beyond.

On the 26th March 2019, we helped to establish Rosautoctono, a foundation for rosé wine made in Italy, together with other organisations aimed at protecting wine production: Consorzio di tutela del Chiaretto e del Bardolino, Consorzio di Tutela Vini DOC Castel del Monte, Consorzio di Tutela Vini d’Abruzzo, Consorzio di Tutela vini DOC Salice Salentino and Consorzio Vini Cirò e Melissa. The entire Italian nation is connected, from the North to the South, by a kind of Ariadne’s thread, joining those who love, and wish to protect, the bottled history that is our wine.
