5 Wineries & Vineyards in Monteforte d'Alpone That You Shouldn't Miss

The grandfather, Antonio Tessari, in 1933 began the path of the winery, in a small place “the caneva” dug by hand and few tools, promoting the passion that already involved all the “Grisela”, nickname of the Family Tessari. Aldo and Bianca, “father and mother” as the children call them, with many sacrifices devolped the winery and transmitted the passion for Garganega, creating the first Recioto that still today the company produces. The third generation, Antonio, Germano and Cornelia, has collected the legacy of their parents and the tradition of a family production, bringing the T.E.S.S.A.R.I wine in all continents, promoting the love for “tera” in the world.

Gini is one of the most important and ancient wineries in the Soave area. The Gini family has cultivated vineyards since the 16th century and the knowledge has been passed down through generations. Today, they produce high quality Veneto wines, made with certified organic agriculture methods. Tradition and innovation coexist, to express the heritage of vines which are 130-year-old. The cellar offers wines such as Soave, Sauvignon Veneto, Pinot Nero and Classic Method Spumante, as well as a Valpolicella Superiore and Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella. We'll be happy to welcome you for a wine tasting in our wine shop and a visit of our underground cellar, a very fascinating space which has been entirely dug into volcanic tuff. The winery is open for visits from Monday to Friday, and Saturday on request. Booking is required for tastings and visits, and it can be done by phone or by filling a form on the website.

Le Battistelle winery is located in the heart of Soave Classico, the most ancient area of Soave production. Here you will be guided into the winery, vineyards and the wine tasting.
