🏡 Tastings & visitsBenaco Bresciano IGTRiviera del Garda Classico DOCSan Martino della Battaglia DOC

Citari has chosen quality over volume, limiting production to 350,000 bottles annually across three appellations that define Lake Garda's wine landscape. From Desenzano del Garda, the estate works three distinct terroirs: San Martino della Battaglia with its Tocai Friulano, Benaco Bresciano's international white varieties, and Riviera del Garda Classico where Groppello anchors the reds. Daily decisions in vineyard and cellar shape every release. Visitors discover this philosophy firsthand through vineyard walks, where the heterogeneous soils—morenal deposits alternating with deep clays—reveal themselves across seasons.
