This hundredth harvest has been enriched by two important local awards. The Trofeo Molmenti, dedicated to Senator Pompeo Molmenti, creator of Chiaretto di Moniga in 1896, was awarded during Valtenesi in Rosa, the leading event for Garda’s rosé wines. The award went to the Valtenesi Fontanamora 2024. At the same time, the Gran Priorato del Lugana, which since 1980 has selected the best Lugana of the year, awarded the Lugana Fenil Boi Turina. In addition, the prestigious Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso recognition was granted to the Fontanamora 2023, a Valtenesi Chiaretto made from groppello, marzemino, sangiovese and barbera grapes.

A Hundred Harvests, a Future to Reserve:The Story of the Turina Family, Precision Winemakers between Valtenesi and Lugana
Getting to know them slowly, taking the time needed for an unhurried meeting, guided by the steady hand of Carlo Veronese, you realize that these young Turinas are made to enhance nature’s products: grapes for wine – olives for extra virgin olive oil. You discover they are part of those winds that still caress and shape a land on the borders of wine. Borders of many kinds: of the lake, of the mountains, of history and families, of denominations that meet and enrich a land – between Lombardy and Veneto – where man is the natural Genius Loci. To be known like the wind that blows here and there, giving character to the wine and entertaining man, just like sailing. It all comes together.

100 Harvests and 4 Generations: The Turina Family
In Moniga del Garda, on the gentle hills overlooking the lake, the Turina family celebrated a milestone steeped in history, hard work, and love for their land: one hundred harvests. A century of grape picking and winemaking that tells much more than the story of an agricultural activity. It is the narration of a passion handed down through four generations, of unwavering dedication to wine and the culture of Valtenesi. The Roots: It All Begins in 1896.The origins of the winery date back to 1896, when great-greatgrandfather Angelo Turina arrived in Moniga from Salò to work as a sharecropper for Senator Pompeo Molmenti, the man who codified modern Chiaretto. A marked destiny, almost prophetic: Molmenti was not only an innovator of rosé wine but also the indirect inspiration for a winemaking adventure that would span the twentieth century.
