About Winery and Wines
The agricultural business Casello Bondoni is located between Desenzano del Garda and Sirmione.
In this very place, history meets modernity.
Casello Bondoni consists of a main building with a small tower, a tasting room and two wine cellars, one for steel tanks and the other one for barriques.
Symbol of the firm, this space is powered by renewable energy sources. It was built in 2000 and modernly equipped in order to guarantee excellent production and to preserve wine quality, as tradition dictates. The phases of wine production have remained unchanged over time: they involve hand harvest, pressing, controlled fermentation and refinement in steel tanks or in barriques.
In 1914 farmer and breeder Michelangelo Tomasi, coming from Recoaro (Vicenza), took over the management, which he later handed over to his son Marco. Marco continued his father's work with passion, dedication and care. Around 1980 the management of the company was taken over by his son Gaetano. Today, the business is still run by the same family, still living in the estate.
Casello Bondoni lies in one of the most beautiful areas of northern Italy. It is surrounded by vineyards and residential areas, but also bright colours, pleasant smells and tastes, which allow a relaxing experience, nostalgic of the simplicity of the past.
Today it is hard to believe that the ancient Lucana (from Latin lucus, “forest”) was once an overgrown, swampy area surrounded by thickets. In fact, it was only after a one-century-long reclamation that the area was made arable.
The production area of Lugana wine extends across the southern areas of Lake Garda, between the provinces of Brescia and Verona. Here, the stratified clay soil is fertile and calcareous, characterized by a very specific mineral composition: in fact the Lugana owes its acidity and intense taste to the area where it is produced, which is characterized by a loamy soil type, produced from the erosion that gave birth to Lake Garda 200 million years ag
The family’s vineyards extend over an area of 25 hectares and are used to produce different wine grape varieties: Trebbiano di Lugana (also known as Turbiana), Garganega, Chardonnay, Marzemino, Syrah, Cabernet and Groppello.
