VINICIO BRONZO E FIGLI

The company was founded at the end of the 18th century on the hills of Caprino Veronese in the locality of Gaon. Wine was produced and traded from the very beginning, until the arrival of Vinicio, who since 1978, together with his son Davide, has been cultivating the 16 hectares of vineyards at 500 meters above sea level according to the principles of integrated phytosanitary management and environmental sustainability. The temperate climate of Lake Garda and the strategic position on the slopes of Monte Baldo favor the healthy growth of vines such as the autochthonous Corvina, Corvinone, Molinara and also indigenous ones such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Cabernet Sauvignon.

cantina zamichele logo

ZAMICHELE

The Zamichele farm is located in the heart of the gentle morainic hills of Lake Garda between Peschiera, Sirmione and Pozzolengo. The family has been active in agriculture for more than a hundred years, respecting the surrounding land, fauna and flora. The mild climate and the absence of herbicides or chemicals favor the development of a rich biodiversity with the greening of the rows. Love for the territory and environmental sustainability have also led to the decision to use a photovoltaic system to generate electricity.

The absence of herbicides and desiccants can be seen with the naked eye: the grass between the rows grows lush and native birds nest there: reed warbler, tit, finch, robin and many other species.
