Lake Garda

Costaripa

On the western, Lombard shore of Lake Garda since 1936, in the Valtènesi hills above Moniga. This is the home of a very pale, savoury rosé made from the local Groppello grape — Chiaretto — pressed the same night the grapes are picked. Owner Mattia Vezzola is one of Italy's most respected sparkling-wine makers. Tours Tuesday to Saturday at fixed times.
