Valetti Winery is a testament to the enduring spirit of family and tradition, nestled in the picturesque region of Bardolino, near the stunning Lake Garda. The story of Valetti began in the early 1900s when Angelo Valetti, with money borrowed from his brother who had emigrated to America, purchased a small piece of land in Bardolino. Here, he planted his first vineyard, laying the foundation for a legacy that would be carried forward by his son Luigi and now by his grandsons, Stefano, Luca, and Davide. Today, the Valetti family continues to honor the traditions established by their grandfather while embracing modern techniques to produce wines that capture the essence of the Bardolino region.

Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €19.00
I am a winemaker in Cavaion Veronese, located in the heart of the Bardolino production zone. Born in 1962, the third of six children, my journey in winemaking began in 1984 with my first harvest. Prior to that, our family’s grapes were sold to other wineries. Growing up, I was captivated by the rhythms of the seasons and the beauty of the land. From childhood, the sights, sounds, and smells of harvest filled my days and inspired my dream to create my own wines. Today, I steward 28 hectares of vineyards, primarily planted with Corvina grapes. The land I cultivate is as diverse as it is remarkable, shaped over millennia by glaciers that carved Lake Garda and the Valdadige valley. Monte Baldo to the north and the Mediterranean microclimate of Lake Garda to the south define our terroir, creating the perfect environment for growing exceptional grapes. This is not just work for me; it is a legacy. The vineyard is a gift passed down from my father, and it is my hope to someday entrust it to my three daughters so they can carry on this tradition and pass it on to future generations. Every wine we produce is a tribute to the unique qualities of this land and my commitment to respecting and preserving its character.
