Cantina Riondo

From Sommacampagna, at the gates of Verona, Cantina Riondo cultivates the dual soul of Garda: that of wine and that of oil, united under the DOC and DOP denominations that share the same morainic arc. In the extensive area covering seventy-six municipalities, white grapes—Garganega and Trebbiano, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio—find a climate tempered by the body of water, which preserves their aromaticity. From this foundation, wines with a minimum alcohol content of eleven percent are produced, offered in still, frizzante, and spumante versions according to precise regulations. The extra virgin olive oil DOP completes the portrait of the territory: pressed from olives of the lakeside area, it offers a delicate fruitiness and sweet notes that signal the mildness of this lake olive cultivation. Riondo brings together the two products as two interpretations of the same landscape—one liquid and fragrant, the other vegetal and soft—presenting Garda not as a postcard but as a coherent agricultural system, measured by the numbers of the regulations rather than by emphasis.
