An overview of the wines of Garda Veneto recognized excellence

In the wine sector, the province of Verona is among the best in Italy for the number and prestige of products with the denomination of origin that are produced within its borders. One of the main merits is to be attributed to the wines of Garda Veneto, including Bardolino, Chiaretto, Custoza, Dogana Veneta (Garda Doc), Lugana, known and appreciated worldwide, as well as the extraordinary wines of Valpolicella, a territory between Lake Garda and the Adige river. Here are produced Amarone, Ripasso and Valpolicella Classico, among the most sought-after reds by wine lovers. The particular climatic conditions of the area surrounding Lake Garda also allow the cultivation of international grape varieties, such as Merlot and Chardonnay, as well as the production of Prosecco, a very successful sparkling wine ideal for aperitifs.



The king of Garda Veneto wines, Bardolino

Bardolino is without doubt one of the most representative wines of this territory, to the point that many bottles still pay homage to San Zeno, which according to local producers is responsible for having taught their ancestors how to grow grapes. Bardolino, typically produced with Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and Negrara grapes, is found in classic and superior versions. Bardolino Chiaretto is a rosé to be enjoyed young to savour the fragrant notes of peach and apricot. Its production area, from the lake to the inland hills, extends for over eighty kilometres and even boasts a dedicated road. From the point of view of pairings at the table, Bardolino is very versatile and can be enjoyed with first courses and fish, while Chiaretto, the rosé version made from the same grapes, is ideal to be enjoyed as an aperitif or to accompany an excellent pizza.


Garda Veneto wines: the fresh Custoza

In the south-eastern part of Lake Garda, thanks to a sheltered climate, good sun exposure and fertile soil, perfect conditions are created for the cultivation of vines. Here Custoza is the name by which soft, dry and richly nuanced white wines are known. The grapes, which include Trebbiano, Garganega and Cortese, are harvested in the municipality of Sommacampagna and throughout the surrounding production area. Through skilful work in the cellar, the Custoza can be enjoyed in a still or sparkling version. In any case, it expresses itself at its best when tasted fresh and goes perfectly with many fish dishes. The tasting of one of these wines offers a unique opportunity to eat and drink happily and get to know this land better.



Garda Veneto wines: the great classic reds
It is certainly no coincidence that the name Valpolicella, by which the territory extending east of the river Adige is recognized, means valley of many wineries. The traditional red wines that are produced in this area are some of the best known in the whole Italian peninsula. Made from Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grapes, Valpolicella Classico is a fruity wine, ideally consumed after three years of ageing. It is a red wine with a medium structure, which can also accompany everyday dishes, enhancing every nuance. The Amarone Della Valpolicella, a true oenological jewel of the area, is made from grapes dried using a very ancient method and then aged in toasted oak barrels. The result is a meditation wine for important dishes, which is characterized by intense colours. In the mouth, it is dry and fruity and has hints of liquorice and vanilla, tobacco and fig. It can also be drunk young, but the best bottles reach an ageing period of more than fifteen years. Halfway between the two products, there is a unique version, the Ripasso, which consists of classic Valpolicella wine that is "brushed" on the marc of Amarone. The wine obtained from this fascinating process takes on truly intriguing sensorial characteristics, which are accompanied by an elegant body and high persistence. Land of red wines rich in personality and charm, Northern Italy finds in Valpolicella and its wonderful wines a spearhead, able to attract many wine tourists every year, who combine the pleasure of visiting the area with guided explorations in the cellar. Whether you are a true connoisseur of the area or simply want to be amazed by a few bottles of these spectacular reds, discover our selection of Cantina Castelnuovo del Garda: you will find some of the best Italian wines at extremely affordable prices.
