TENUTA CORBARI

Giorgia had a dream to share with the world the experience and passion passed down through generations that she and her father, Roberto, put into their daily work in the vineyard and winery. From their artisanal approach, typical of small, family-run businesses, they created Tenuta Corbari, a boutique winery nestled in the lush greenery of the morainic hills. My father had inherited the business from his father, Silvio, with just one hectare of vineyard and a small, now-abandoned barn. Today, the company has 22 hectares dedicated to wine grape production, produces 8,000 bottles, has one hectare of olive trees, and a well-structured winery with a recently renovated tasting room designed for hospitality. My husband Mattia works with us and manages the olive grove. 

Tenuta Corbari was born from the desire to share our products with people. We take you with us to discover the world of wine, its secrets, and the wonderful facets of our territory, blending historical anecdotes, craftsmanship, nature, and passion.

8,000 bottles produced in a territory cradled by the microclimate of Lake Garda, with attention to detail throughout. Our vineyards are located on gently sloping morainic terrain, at 250 meters above sea level. Unlike the rest of the Lugana area, which is clay-based, our soils are sandy and rocky; this gives our grapes an interesting aromatic complexity and a structure and acidity that's hard to find.

Each year, our wines are different because we respect the original product in the cellar, i.e., the grape, a fruit that grows and ripens differently depending on the season.

Our first line was the Lugana DOC Tenuta Corbari: 100% Turbiana grapes, hand-harvested. After gentle pressing and controlled temperature fermentation, our wine remains in contact with the fine lees for about 2 months to refine (sur lie aging). It's a wine rich in aromas of white flowers, fruits like peach and mango. The taste is full, savory, structured, and, most importantly, extremely persistent.

But what do people say about such a complex wine? "You drink a glass, then another, until you finish the bottle without realizing it."

Roberto's idea also gave birth to Custode: a red wine made from 100% Merlot grapes from our 45-year-old historic vineyard in Solferino. The low yield of this vineyard results in a rich, fragrant, acidic wine, and a slight barrique aging gives it intriguing notes of cinnamon and vanilla. The palate is clean and not too tannic, but very persistent. Only 1,000 bottles of this wine are produced each year, and only in worthy vintages.

Last but not least, INCONTRO, our extra virgin olive oil, is obtained from Leccino, Casaliva, and Pendolino olives that are hand-picked and cold-pressed within 24 hours. Its full-bodied yet not aggressive taste makes it perfect for dressing vegetables, bread, and meat.
