Casa Sartori 1898
(Winery in Lugana)

5 (2 Reviews)
By its very nature, Casa Sartori 1898 is not interested in the oddities that increasingly seem to attract the attention of many producers and consumers. Andrea, Luca, and their colleagues in Colognola ai Colli prefer to remain faithful to a more sober, elegant, and timeless style that more than anything else best represents them. This is the real "innovation" of Casa Sartori 1898: the ability to adapt their wines appropriately, without succumbing to passing fads that, like violent thunderstorms, cyclically cloud the skies of the wine scene. However, above all, it is the satisfaction that comes from getting in touch with nature, so dear to the Veronese, and from conscientiously and respectfully making something unique to share with the people and places they love most.
