HISTORY AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE “LE TENDE” WINERY

THE FAMILY BEHIND THE LE TENDE WINERY

“Le Tende” stands for Italian wines.

The excellent wines from the “Le Tende” winery are definitely among the best in their class. The winery is located on Lake Garda between Cola di Lazise and Cavaion Veronese, in an area favored by a mild climate and always known for the production of great wines.

The Fortuna and Lucillini families founded the business on the slopes of the gently winding moraine hills.

The winery is unusually tidy and yet absolutely lovingly designed. Behind the farm you can literally taste the passion of the 14 hectares of certified organic vineyards. The name of the winery “Le Tende” comes from the historic winery “Ville Le Tende”. The villa, which Count Bevilacqua-Lazise had built in 1880, stretched across the entire valley.

A WINE TASTING ON SITE IN COLA DI LAZISE NEAR LE TENDE

After a great introduction about the winery in the beautiful Cola di Lazise, ​​we were allowed to start with the fresh and delicately fruity sparkling wine PROSECCO VOLUTTA. Grissini and delicious ham were served, just as you would imagine at an Italian winery. Before each wine, the hosts tell you everything about the grape variety and how the wine is bottled. After the Prosecco, we enjoyed the fresh white wine “SABIA IGT BIANCO VENETO”, which delighted all of our participants. When it came to red wines, the Weinschmeckeria team was particularly impressed by the full-bodied, strong red wine CICISBEO IGT.

You can of course also find the best wines from our wine tasting in our online shop.

THE OWNERS MAURO AND GIULIANA OF THE LE TENDE WINERY

Under the guidance of Mauro Fortuna, experienced hands devote loving care to viticulture and the production of recognized quality wines. Experience and tradition are combined with the most modern winemaking techniques.

The Lucillini and Fortuna families care not only about the high quality of the wines, but also about the environment. That's why the winery was certified organic by the ICEA (Istituto di Certificazione Etica e Ambientale) in 2012. It should be positively mentioned that not only are no fertilizers used, but also the highly toxic glyphosate is not used here at “Le Tende”. What a great thing to protect nature

OUR CONCLUSION ON THE WINERY “LE TENDE”

The Fortuna & Lucillini families began producing recognized quality wines on the slopes that became so-called moraine hills due to the glacial movements of the Ice Age.

While Mauro Fortuna is responsible for viticulture and the production of the organic quality wines, Franco Lucillini takes care of the finishing touches to the unique wines. Franco's self-designed wine labels show the absolute passion and dedication to this special winery even before you take your first sip.

Here the traditional approach is combined with the most modern techniques and the result is breathtaking.
