Azienda Agricola Pratello

Pratello - In every bottle there is the soul of Lake Garda

On the hills west of Lake Garda, on the side towards Brescia in Lombardy, is the Pratello winery and farm. It covers a total area of 120 hectares, 70 of which are vineyards, including the two DOC Lugana and Valtenesi, the remaining land is used for agriculture and forest. The associated winery, located in the heart of the medieval village, is completely underground. One area is modern and is used for fermentation and bottling of the wines, while the historical part is reserved for the wooden barrels for the aging of the precious Riserva.

In addition to the two DOC Lugana and Valtenesi, the wine produces a range of other wines that are typical of the region, from the classic grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc and  Riesling for the whites, to the reds, with the autochthonous grape varieties Groppello, Sangiovese, Marzemino, Barbera, and the younger grape variety Rebo, which produces, for example, the red wine Mille1.

Pratello was among the first wineries in the region to obtain organic certification. More than a decade later, enriched by many experiences, the winery has developed the so-called Pratello method, an increase and qualitative development of the organic measures already used, in order to further strengthen the harmony between man and nature in the winery and farm in a holistic, gentle, species-appropriate way.
