CLIMATE
The component at the base of our wines is the territory of the Valle dei Laghi, characterized by its particular cool Mediterranean climate.
In the morning, the valley is refreshed by the wind that comes from the Brenta Dolomites that then goes down to Lake Garda. In the afternoon, instead, the Ora rises from Lake Garda and keeps all the plots of land well ventilated, offering the vines the best conditions to develop those organoleptic characteristics that make our wines unique.
