Description
Our history dates back to 1536 when Mr. Bortolo Meneghello began cultivating his vineyards on the hills of the Alpone Valley. Inspired by the gentle landscapes of Lake Garda, Mr. Bortolo pruned, harvested, and vinified, passing his passion down to his children and grandchildren. Since then, 13 uninterrupted generations have followed, jealously guarding the family’s secrets and traditions.
Today, new people carry on this tradition with the same enthusiasm. In 2023, the Villa Meneghello project was born. The protagonists are Giancarlo Nicolis, with his winemaking experience, and the Delaini family, entrepreneurs and masters in tourism and hospitality. From the meeting of these two families, a new company was born, which, by carefully harvesting and working with fine grapes, transforms them into quality wines.
