The experience we offer is divided into two parts: the winery tour and the tasting.

THE TOUR

The goal of our tour is to take our visitors through the journey of the grape cluster: from the vineyard to the bottle.

The tour starts from our vineyard on the back of the company (“Santa Cristina” Vineyard), one between our smallest (just 12,000 square meters) but more characteristic, being one of the few vineyards in our area just a few hundred meters from Lake Garda.

The tour will then continue to the grape reception area and to the fermentation cellar where, after harvesting, grapes, after being crushed, are fermented in steel tanks at controlled temperature.

We will then move into the underground barrel room, based on two large rooms with controlled temperature and humidity: first room hosts 40 large (2500 liters each) oak barrel and about 800 smaller casks (300 and 500 liters each) for the refining of our powerful red wines and complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentations; second room has been created just to age and refine already bottled red wines, which rest all requested time to be perfectly ready for consumption.

You will then walk to our bottling line where wine is bottled and where you will have a look to all requested bottling, labelling and packaging machines. The visit will end by visiting our warehouses where all wines are stocked before shipping.

During our tour you will hear a lot of details about Lenotti Family history and about our company, as well as explanations and stories about our wines.

THE TASTING

After the tour, we'll return to the barrel cellar where we'll offer a guided tasting of the most representative Veronese red wines, all from the same vintage: 

-2010: The vintage was cool and rainy, with slow and steady ripening. The appassimento (grape drying) produced elegant and fresh wines. Notes of red fruit, aromatic herbs, and light spices are accompanied by a light but well-defined structure. The tannins are soft.

Cabernet Sauvignon IGT Rosso del Veneto “Pramonte”

Bardolino Superiore DOCG Classico “Le Olle”

Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC Classico “Le Crosare”

IGT Rosso del Veneto “Massimo”

They are our star performers, fresh and well-balanced wines.

THANK YOU

With this proposal, we hope to fully acquaint you with the extraordinary characteristics of this wine and help you understand its evolution during its first few years in the bottle, thereby piquing your desire to explore all the possible developments that can arise in bottles aged for much longer periods.
