AZIENDA AGRICOLA LA BASIA

About Winery and Wines

LA BASIA is a small farm on the morainic hills of Valtènesi region, on the south-eastern shore of Lake Garda, approx. 40 km far from Brescia (Lombardia). Vine growing and high-quality wine production have been the core activities since 1975; from 2001 we also run an agriturismo, with holiday apartments and horse stables. After years of activity, the farm is still basically a family-run operation, which the owner Elena Parona manages with the help of her husband Antonio and two of their kids, Giacomo and Irene. The process of increasing production and the constant care given to improve the quality of our wines, led La Basa, although small, to be awarded in many national and international competitions, and be recognized in important Italian and international guides and reviews. The philosophy of La Basia's activities can be summarized in two concepts: quality and a respect for the environment. The wines of La Basia originate from ongoing research aimed to enhancing local heritage in order to offer a very typical and unique product, strongly connected to the local varietals, tradition and terroir. This special regard for the preservation of natural heritage and integrity of the landscape motivates us to cultivate our fields and vineyards using sustainable techinques, with a minimum impact on the environment. Since 2012 we also joined the Ita.Ca. project, to control and manage the carbon print of our whole operations.
