Bottenago

On the shores of Lake Garda, Bottenago produces two products under the same denomination: DOP extra virgin olive oil and DOC wines. The oil translates the lake's unique mesoclimate into a delicately fruity profile, imbued with sweet notes that belong only to this lakeside strip, where the lake tempers winters and extends olive maturation. The winemaking side follows the Garda DOC regulations, which span seventy-six municipalities between Lombardy and the Veronese area, permitting white, sparkling, and frizzante wines. The grapes—Garganega, Trebbiano, Chardonnay, and Pinot Grigio—achieve a minimum alcohol content of 11% here, a threshold that guides each harvest towards a perfect balance of freshness and body. Not a single label, then, but a delightful range of expressions that tell the story of the lake's versatility: the agile sparkling wine alongside the still white, the immediate drinkability alongside wines with greater structure. In both product lines, oil and wine, the consistent touch of a territory defined by its surrounding water remains beautifully evident.
