The Morette – Valerio Zenato farm today is one of the most dynamic
areas of production of Lugana DOC. Its headquarters are in San Benedetto
di Lugana, in the thin belt that divides the southern bank of Lake
Garda and the Frassino Lake, which is an important naturalistic site and
natural reserve.
The farm consists of over 30 hectares of vineyards divided in three
estates, two in San Benedetto di Lugana and one near the Sirmione
Palace, in the agricultural area nearest to Lake Garda. Here there are
the toughest plots of land, that sometimes force grapevines to thrive in harsh conditions, particularly for water supplies. Nevertheless this is the
zone of “first territorial cru”, the one where white wines of greater
structure are produced and which are characterized by a strong
minerality. Their philosophy is based on the solid bond with the
territory and the balance of which is guaranteed particularly by the use of
organic amendments and substances of natural origin. Each phase of
production, from the grapevine up to harvest and winemaking, is followed
personally and with care by the family, as a guarantee of a production
with a strong personality.
