On Lake Garda, between Colà di Lazise and Cavaion Veronese, in an area blessed with a mild climate, in 14 hectares of vineyards our wines with the "Le Tende" label are produced, created by the Fortuna and Lucillini families.
Here, expert hands led by Mauro Fortuna devote themselves with loving care to the cultivation of vines and the production of wines of recognized quality, combining the experience of tradition with the most modern winemaking techniques. The unique taste of Le Tende wines is crowned by Franco Lucillini, entrepreneur and photographer, designing the labels with the same passion with which he produces wine.
The choice of organic farming was for us a natural ethical choice; since 2012 we follow the method of cultivation and production with organic method, with Icea certification, which excludes the use of synthetic chemicals for the defense of plants and herbicides and of course glyphosate. Our vineyards are located in the heart of the Bardolino Classico and Custoza production, in the municipalities of Colà di Lazise and Cavaion Veronese. The average production of 100,000 bottles is the result of the deep knowledge of Corvina and Rondinella grapes for Bardolino and Garganega, Trebbiano, Trebbianello and Cortese for Custoza, as well as the experience in their vinification. From cabernet sauvignon comes a wine of great complexity and longevity: the Cicisbeo. Our work is aimed at creating wines of refined quality that are recognized for their adherence to the territory, originality and elegance.
