We are near Garda Lake, on hills where wine heritage looses itself in the past centuries.
La Pesenata took its first steps in 2019 despite the land having belonged to the Benciolini family since 1868. We have has 7 hectares of land, of which approximately 4 hectares of vineyards. In the vineyard all work is carried out by hand, from pruning, to trimming, to desuckering and defoliation.We work only our own grapes, we ferment with indigeous yeasts and perform only two rackings. One to share wine from sediments in December and another pre-bottling at the end of February. We do not carry out any clarification, no chemical stabilization practices, no filtration, no temperature controls.
We add a small quantity of potassium metabisulphite before bottling while always remaining below “our” threshold of 30 mg/l of total sulfur dioxide (the law allows the addition of up to 150 mg/l).
Our wines are spontaneous, frank and obtained naturally without any invasive technique such as filtration, clarification, chemical stabilization, but allowing the product to express all its nature and entirety and faithfully reflect the terroir and the vintage.

Biologische wijngaard. Wij mochten een privé proeverij meemaken. Gianni gaf met passie uitleg over het verbouwen en maken van wijn. De wijngaard is meerdere jaren in bezit van de familie. Fantastisch ontvangst in een zeer ongedwongen sfeer. De liefde voor de natuur was terug te vinden in de wijnen. Natuurlijk konden we her niet laten om een paar doosjes mee te nemen.
Heel veel succes met de oogst en we komen graag terug.

Fantastisch. Veel te weten gekomen over (Italiaanse) wijn. Persoonlijke aandacht. Erg vriendelijke mensen en ik kreeg echt het gevoel dat het allemaal draait om de liefde voor de druiven en de wijn. Wij waren met ons gezin, Inclusief twee kinderen van 8 en 3 jaar oud, en daarom waren de boerderij dieren fantastisch, om voor wat afleiding voor de kinderen te zorgen. Bedankt!

Gianni is the nicest guy. The tour was very nice, he walked us through the vineyard and explained the natural process of raising grapes and making wine while showing us the vines and bunches and explaining how to manage a vineyard. He also included our children and was happy to allow them to pet the donkeys and later play with his dog Sophie. The wines and grappo here are very good. We hope to see him again this fall for harvest!

Piacevole scoperta di un piccolo angolo di paradiso circondati dalla natura. Vigneti coltivati secondo il metodo biodinamico ventilati dalle brezze del lago di Garda e la mano di chi ama la Natura ci regalano vini freschi, piacevoli, identitari. Interessanti le vinificazioni in bianco dei classici vitigni Rondinella e Corvina. Per le famiglie ottimo il percorso nella fattoria dove sono appena nati agnellini e asinelli.
EN translation:Pleasant discovery of a small corner of paradise surrounded by nature. Vineyards cultivated according to the biodynamic method, ventilated by the breezes of Lake Garda and the hand of those who love Nature give us fresh, pleasant and distinctive wines. The white vinifications of the classic Rondinella and Corvina vines are interesting. For families, the tour around the farm where lambs and donkeys have just been born is excellent.
