Giovanna Tantini Winery Guided Tour + Tasting

In this guided tour of the Giovanna Tantini winery, you will enter the wine world of Lake Garda and engage in a tasting of 6 wines.

Description

We will meet at the scheduled time at the Giovanna Tantini winery in Castelnuovo del Garda. After everyone arrives, we will learn about the philosophy, history, and facilities of this wine company.

The experience begins with a tour of the cellar's vineyards with Giovanna Tantini, the owner. After reviewing the different grape varieties on the estate, we will commence our tasting, which includes a total of 6 wines along with a platter of cold meats and cheeses.

The tasting starts with a Custoza, a fresh white wine typical of the area, followed by a Chiaretto, the Rosè DOC from Lake Garda, made from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. Next, we will taste a Bardolino DOC, the company’s specialty, and a Garda Corvina DOC 100% Corvina, a fresh version of the local grape.

The penultimate tasting will be an Ettore IGT, a blend of Corvina, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot aged in wood for 18 months. The final tasting will be a Greta IGT, a wine made from grapes dried in the vineyard, showcasing a distinct and challenging process that contributes to its unique character.

After 1.5 hours of wine tasting, the tour will conclude.
