Winemaking begins in the vineyard
Perla del Garda is the evolution of an ambitious idea of bringing the vineyards back to the morainic hills of our farmlands. Ancient prints and cadastral maps bear witness to a tradition which recognizes the vine growing and wine production in this stony, arid soil.
The logic of our production is based on the fundamental principle that winemaking begins in the vineyard, abandoning pre-established schedules and taking into account the climatic conditions of each year, according to the heed and wisdom of our family tradition.
Harvesting of the grapes by hand between August and November and the gravity-flow technique of wine making, are the two mainstays of our production method.

Wines from Garda and Varieties from the Morainic Hills
Giovanna and Ettore began in 2000, observing the soil characteristics and the microclimate of the morainic hills, south of the lake.
With this vision, we began to select the vine shoots, decide the number of plants per hectare and select the training method. Our white wines are made from Trebbiano di Lugana or Turbiana, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Riesling and Incrocio Manzoni varietals.
The red wines are made from Rebo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand, selecting the bunches and placing them in small boxes that are swiftly dispatched to the winery, which lies in the middle of the vineyards.
The maximum distance between the vines and the vinification area is 1,000 metres.
