Corte Gardoni

Corte Gardoni is a wine estate created by Gianni Piccoli on the south-eastern morainic hills of Lake Garda. The Piccoli family has owned the estate since 1971.

The estate covers approximately 45 hectares, including 23 hectares of vineyards, and its land lies between 90 and 180 metres above sea level. Grape varieties include Corvina, Rondinella, Garganega and Trebbianello, while grass cover alternates with mixed green manure crops to support soil fertility and biodiversity. Electronic weather monitoring helps guide integrated pest management. In the cellar, fruit cold-storage rooms are used for grape cryomaceration, while Bardolino Superiore matures in Slavonian oak casks. Its wines include Bardolino and Bianco di Custoza, the two wines with which the label made its debut.
