Winemakers since 1924
Our family has been in wine for 4 generations.
Already in the 1920s Luigi, Gaudenzio’s father, supplied the taverns by transporting demijohns with the classic horse-drawn cart.
Today, it is still the passion for the origins and for the terroir of Lake Garda that guides our wine production philosophy: 21 hectares, divided between Valtènesi and Lugana, give home to the typical vines of the true Gardesana tradition.
Valtènesi
The story of a pink vocation that has transformed color into the identity of the territory.
Since 1896, authenticity has been handed down from the Groppello grape, a pink heritage that has always given Valtenesi finesse, longevity and elegance.
Lugana
The character of an unmistakable white wine, capable of winning the challenge of time. A land made of clay and lake air.
A luxuriant plain set among the gentle morainic hills of Lake Garda.
Our Award Winning Wines
Excellence of our production and our winegrowing area. The wine-making of this wine was born more than 100 years ago, by a hunch of Pompeo Molmenti. The process includes a short maceration peel/must (over one night), and a soft pressing, which leaves to the wine its distinctive rose-colored trait. The fermentation takes place by controlled temperature with selected yeasts. This wine is thought to be appreciated also after the first year from the wine-making, as it evolves through time, enhancing its qualities of smoothness and flavor.

Our Valtènesi Setamora was born from a choice inspired by our land. Setamora aims to narrate how our terroir uniquely shows its vocation for rosé wines. Setamora is one of the few rosé wines in the world thought and made to be bottled one year after the harvest. Setamora reveals an incredible fragrance and freshness. A pleasure to drink, with an outstanding vertical character. Ideal with spicy food, it can be considered as a meditation wine as well.
This great wine arises from the clay and sand of our estate in Lugana. Produced in white, the fermentation takes place by controlled temperature and with selected yeasts. The wine obtained matures on its own lees with “batonnage”, and the result is a euphoria of senses. Intense, savory and lingering. The aroma is always delicate, with mineral fragrance of white flowers, citrus fruit and field grass. It lends itself to a moderate aging. Perfect for major occasions.
Wine of ancient tradition, obtained by “Trebbiano of Lugana” grapes, cultivated in the south part of Lake Garda. The color is straw yellow with greenish reflexes, full of typical and delicate aromas. The taste is fresh and smooth. Perfect as aperitif, it goes well also with appetizers, fish dishes, mollusks, shellfish and white meats.
This sparkling wine Brut arises from the grapes of the wine variety “Trebbiano of Lugana”, which harvest is slightly anticipated compared to the ripening, to guarantee the right degree of acidity to the wine. The second fermentation takes place in steel autoclaves; successively, the sparkling wine continues its refinement for further 4 months. The perlage is fine, the taste fruity and elegant. It is recommended as an excellent aperitif; it goes well along with delicate first courses, fish and shellfish.
