Esperienza interessante

Rate: 3 out of 5 9/1/25

Visita di palazzo Lodron e degustazione vini durata 1 ora rispetto all'orario indicato di 1 ora e mezza. La storia che si cela dietro al luogo è molto interessante e coinvolgente.
Consiglierei di far assaggiare tutti i vini prodotti, così da dare la possibilità ai clienti di gustare ogni vino e se interessati poter procedere all'acquisto di una o più bottiglie.

Un’esperienza indimenticabile

E’ stata un’esperienza indimenticabile! Palazzo Lodron è meraviglioso con una bellissima storia. La proprietaria ci ha fatto visitare le stanze, la cappella e le cantine raccontandoci la storia della sua famiglia e antenati. Molto bella anche la passeggiata nelle vigne sorseggiando un buon calice di vino. Ma la cosa più bella è stata la location della degustazione, senza parole
Vino di alta qualità

Bellissima esperienza nella storia

Rate: 5 out of 5 7/1/25

Un'esperienza davvero piacevole e raffinata. Visitare l'interno di un palazzo storico come quello Lodron aggiunge fascino e atmosfera alla degustazione: ambienti curati, accoglienti e carichi di storicità.

La selezione dei vini proposta è stata interessante e assai gradevole e le spiegazioni da parte del titolare sono stati competenti e mai noiose.
Personalmente ho gradito in particolar modo il Rizzoi ma degno di nota è anche "Divertimento n° 10".

Un'esperienza che consiglio vivamente a chi ama il vino abbinato anche alla cornice della storia.

Qué linda experiencia tuvimos en este bello lugar.
Nos recibieron como en casa y nos contaron la historia de la familia y sobre sus vinos. Fueron muy generosos en la cata y con su tiempo.
Una experiencia así vale demasiado la pena.
Todo perfecto, mejor que lo que esperábamos

Ottimo esperienza

Rate: 5 out of 5 8/1/24

Siamo stati accolti calorosamente dalla moglie del proprietario della villa, la signora Lodron, ci ha portati a visitare le vigne, ci ha spiegato passo dopo passo tutti i passaggi della vinificazione. Abbiamo visitato la zona di produzione e invecchiando, le cantine e la villa. Ci ha spiegato dettagliatamente la storia della famiglia e fatto visitare la villa, stupenda, in fine una degustazione di ottimi formaggi, pane, vino di loro produzione e frutta, grappoli d’uva e fichi. Esperienza bellissima. Grazie mille Frau Lodron.

Intimate Winery Tour and Excellent Wines

Rate: 5 out of 5 7/1/24

We had the pleasure of visiting Palazzo Lodron for a tour and tasting on 23, July, 2024. We were warmly greeted in the Palazzo courtyard by Olivia, who owns the winery with her husband. After a brief tour of the vineyard, which included stunning views of the countryside from atop an old stone tower, we entered the winery and house. This is a very small winery, but the quality is very high. The old house features 2 sub-levels of "caves" for cellaring. The history of these old rooms was explained by Olivia and it is very interesting. Olivia also graciously showed us some of the rooms of the house, in which she and her family live. The house has great historical significance in the area, having been occupied in former times by very prominent and important regional administrators. There is even a chapel in the house, complete with alter and painted copper panels in the ceiling. Extremely interesting and unique.

We then tasted the wines and each were delicious! A rose, a cabernet franc and a cabernet sauvignon. The rose was on the darker side in both color and flavor and was excellent. The cabernet franc was bursting with fruit on the nose and on the palate and the cabernet sauvignon was lush and full on the palate with dark berry flavors yet very smooth and balanced. It is no wonder these wines have won accolades (96 points from Decanter for the cabernet sauvignon) in just a few short years of production.

We loved our experience at Palazzo Lodron and the time w

About Winery and Wines

Palazzo Lodron, a historical estate that has been in the Lodron family for over 400 years, is located in the picturesque village of Nogaredo, nestled between Trento and Lake Garda. The estate carries a rich history intertwined with the legacy of Salzburg, notably through its connection to Mozart, who composed music for the family. The vineyard is a more recent endeavor, revitalized in 2018 by descendants Pipo and Olivia Volpini de Maestri. They replanted the vineyard, embracing the unique terroir of Vallagarina, where the first Bordeaux blend in Italy was created in the 1960s. The region’s hillside location, quality soil, and warm climate influenced by Lake Garda provide ideal conditions for cultivating Cabernet and Merlot vines.

Pipo and Olivia have passionately continued the winemaking tradition, producing wines that reflect their deep connection to the land and history. The estate's wines, such as the aptly named "Divertimento no 10" in homage to Mozart, have quickly garnered acclaim from connoisseurs and earned international awards. The wines of Palazzo Lodron are considered by some to be "Trentino's best-kept secret," offering an authentic taste of the region’s rich heritage and landscape.

At Palazzo Lodron, the focus is on producing high-quality wines using sustainable practices that respect the natural environment. The vineyard, located in the exceptional wine region of Vallagarina at 220 meters above sea level, spans 3 hectares and is surrounded by old stone walls, olive trees, and lavender. The grape varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Carmenere, forming a Bordeaux blend from Trentino. Four labels are produced: Flaminia Rosato, Divertimento n.10, Rizzoi, and Gran Tasso (a pure Merlot).

The vineyard’s health is carefully maintained by nurturing its natural immune system. Cover crops like clover, vetch, and false flax are introduced to enhance soil biodiversity, reduce erosion, and support beneficial insects like bees. Herbicides are avoided entirely; instead, weed control is done mechanically, and organic fertilizers are used sparingly. By removing vine leaves to speed up drying and reduce fungal growth, the need for plant protection products is minimized. The green harvest in July involves removing shoots, grapes and leaves to prioritize quality over quantity. This labor-intensive, manual approach ensures that each vine is cared for individually throughout the year, resulting in wines that truly reflect the unique terroir of Palazzo Lodron.
