The tastings in the cellar have the purpose of enhancing the wine and food excellences of a land, cultivated with pride, effort and dedication over the years, preserving its uniqueness since 1938, the year of foundation of our cellar, by grandfather Giovanni (for further information: “Red 80th: scent of history).

“Wine and food tourism means discovering the territory in its deepest roots and enjoying its fruits, recovering direct contact with the land, walking through the vineyards, surrounded by the colors and the characteristic scents of each season, relaxing and having fun with friends”.

The tasting becomes a real sensory experience

According to Paola Franzosi, Giovanni’s nephew, founder of the winery, “discovering the territory leads to intimacy with the land and its fruits, knowing how our wines and oils are made and then tasting them, letting oneself be transported in a sensory experience”.

“Our history is bond to our territory, (Valtènesi, land of vineyards and olive trees and hills sloping down towards the lake Garda, the cradle of our Cellar), and its fruits, cultivated with love and passion, followed by seasons that alternate without interruption from work, giving wines and olive oils known in Italy and abroad” … continues Paola.
