On the outlying reaches of the Moreniche Hills which face Lake Garda we find the Il Pignetto winery, whose views through its vineyards lead on to the beautiful city of Verona. Here we are in Bardolino wine territory, one of the great names of Venetian winemaking.
For three generations the Morando family have been producing wine, with the passion of those looking to unite the tradtional way of vine cultivation with modern technology, though using the most natural biological methods, both in the growing and production. The results speak for themselves: fine Bardolino Doc, Bardolino Chiaretto Doc and the white Bianco di Custoza Doc.
Situated near Lake Garda and near the artistic city of Verona the vineyard is in an ideal location for a visit during your holiday in the region. The vineyard also provides the possibility for organised parties and tourism.
Groups can avail themselves of the opportunity to have guided wine tastings, accompanied by delicious local specialities, allowing you to really sample the true flavour of the Il Pignetto winery.
