Sparkling Wine Tasting & Gourmet Pairings and Tour at Corte Fornello in Valeggio sul Mincio
Here is what's in store for you
At Corte Fornello, you will be welcomed by the Venturelli family, who will share their passion for sparkling wines that express the local terroir.
The experience begins with a guided tour of the winery, where you'll learn the two main methods of sparkling wine production: the Traditional Method and the Charmat Method. You will follow every stage of the process, from the vineyard to the cellar, understanding the key differences between the two approaches.
The tour is followed by a guided tasting of three selected sparkling wines.
- A Traditional Method Brut White from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes, aged for 48 months
- A Traditional Method Brut Rosé from Pinot Nero and Corvina Veronese, aged for 36 months
- The “Dorè”, a frizzante white wine (100% Chardonnay).
Each wine is paired with three gourmet dishes inspired by regional cuisine and seasonal availability, with examples like roast beef with pickled gherkins, beetroot carpaccio, or dark chocolate. In good weather, the tasting is held in the estate's courtyard; otherwise, it takes place in the dedicated indoor tasting room.
