The vineyard-covered hills that are dominated by Castael Madruzzo and Castel
Toblino – the two manors that tower over our vineyards – have been used for growing grapes since ancient times.

Recent archaeological excavations, medieval chronicles, and citations from the Council of Trent confirm this for wines that are, “health-bringing, comforting, and that aid the stomach.” As the historian Michelangelo Mariani writes.

The grape varieties are equally historic. Apart from the humble Schiava, the Negrara
– a varietal that we have brought back to life as we have Gropello di Revo – not to
mention the typical Lagrein, Rebo and a variety of internationally- known grapes such
as Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, and Pinot Nero.

All of these grapes are connected with specific terroirs. These are selected with attention to our ancestors who were growers with longstanding, irrefutable experience.

That applies now. As then.


 

     
Easy-drinking and upbeat says everything about this wine, from its rose color to its vivacious aromas and inviting, light fruitiness. This is a wine to be drunk chilled and within the vintage year, to be enjoyed at summer parties, picnics, or when wine is part of a festive event. It is a joy to drink.

Madruzzo is recognizable by its light, cardinal red color with luminous, rosy highlights. Though it has a gentle profile of maraschino cherry and red fruit both on the nose and palate, this is a carefully crafted wine with excellent persistence and capacity for medium-length aging.

We honor the enological research of Rebo Rigotti – born in our Valle dei Laghi – with this wine made from a genetic hybrid of Merlot and Teroldego.
It is bright red in color, and on the nose and palate Rebo unites teroldego’s violet-and-earth tones with the elegant, fruity roundness of merlot. Rebo is a harmonious, well-textured, and soft wine that prompts its immediate drinking.

A wine that is considered the enological “memory” of Trentino, obtained from Groppello, an ancient varietal originally of Val di Non, that was saved from the massive expansion of fruit growing in Val di Non. It is a deep, intense red, distinctive in every way. It has a strong aroma, with nearly wild notes of mature grapes, with a taste that is decisive, tannic, apparently rustic, but with a soft finish and long fluidity, for a wine that will conserve over the years its historic countenance.

Our homage to the enological history of the people of Trentino. A wine made from the varietal of the same name, a grape used for centuries in Trentino to strengthen – in color and flavor – generous wines, obtained from blending with other minor grapes of other autoctonous varieties. A wine made expressly simple. Pleasingly acidic, almost sour, with an intense ruby red color. It has in its frankness its priority, but it knows how to be delicate according to how it is paired with foods.

History in a glass. A history born of sacrifice, of hopes, disappointments, and regret. Destrani precisely the nostalgia for recent and apparently distant history. Memories of harvests, peasant festivals, rural rituals dedicated to daily wines. Wines for only domestic drinking. Made with grapes from old vines of the Valle dei Laghi of the Franconia variety that create an easy drinking red that is fresh, inviting in its edginess and pleasing rusticity. A wine that recalls freshly-pressed grapes. And the memories of peasant harvest festival.

The name of this wine – an anagram of Lagrein – is as classy and intriguing as the illustrious native varietal from which it is made. It is elegant and easy-drinking, with a balanced suite of rich, dark fruit, mild tannins, and subtle mineral notes. Though Niergal truly is a “main course” red wine in a beautiful package, it can be drunk both immediately or after several years of cellaring.

Fascinating in its dark ruby color like that of a ripe pomegranate, this innovative trentino Syrah shows a complex bouquet of spices, black pepper, hazelnuts and vanilla, all against a mildy earthy background. On the palate it is clean and intense on impact, then it reveals an elegant structure with silky softness. With a strong aging potential.

Fratagranda is the “thoroughbred” of our winery, made only in the best harvest years. It is intensely purple in color, with deep notes of dark fruit and spices, cedar, mountain herbs. On the palate it is rich and potent, with well-integrated tannins, soft but with an inviting acidity that exalts its structure and makes for satisfying, unrestrained drinking.
