The best wineries in Mezzane di Sotto.
Four brothers and a passion that was born in their father’s vineyards in San Zeno of Colognola ai Colli, an area in the Valpolicella that produces the most famous Scala wines: Amarone, Valpolicella, Soave. Ahead of their time, the Castagnedi brothers actually have worked for years as technical consultants, creating new "turnkey" plants all over Italy. They mature, in this way, a unique experience that pushes them to a decisive step. In 1989 they purchase 30 hectares of land in the area of Mezzane, which, added to their father’s property, bring the vineyards of Tenuta Sant’Antonio to the current extension of 50 hectares in total.
Its quality, its characteristics are the result of little everyday choices. Since you prepare the ground for the plant of cuttings to the time of bottling, nothing should be left to chance, or excessively planned. Hence the philosophy of the manufacturer, his relationship with nature on the one hand, and with technology on the other, become essential moments to understand and better enjoy wine beyond any organoleptic characteristic easily amenable to conventional parameters. Each wine of the Sant’Alda court, comes from a particular vineyard that, for its location, its variety of grapes, its age and its type of farming, was preferred over time to produce its own wine that allows us to get a clear–cut and indisputable quality. All the grapes are certified organic, are picked by hand at the moment of ripeness, sometimes forcing us to perform several steps in the vineyards. The fermentations start spontaneously (own yeasts) and occur in small conical oak vats of 40 hl, where temperatures are only partially controlled. At the end of this phase, which generally lasts 15 days, in the case of Amarone over a month, after subsequent decanting, wines, except for Soave Vigne di Mezzane, before being bottled are aged in wood of different essence, capacity and age for a period ranging from 6 months to 4 years.
More than forty years have passed since our parents founded this farm: small, unpretentious, but supported by much enthusiasm. Until not long ago, the wine productions were conferred to the local Cooperative Winery.
Today, seven among brothers and cousins, we inherited a company that has fully involved and engaged us, reaching considerable size. Love for the country life and passion for the cultivation of the vine, in the first place, have decreed the birth of Latium. We are engaged in the production of valuable wines like Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone, quintessence of our warm lands of Illasi, whose nobility finds their most deeply rootes in history.
The origins of our village are traced back to the ancient Romans, who, passing through remote lands of conquest, found here an ideal environment for the cultivation of vines, olives and fruit trees. Soon, local people called them Latii, those of Lazio, describing them as foreigners, strangers. The historical finds, some worn stones, came to light by chance, bearing witness that we, with ill–concealed pride, we are the custodians of two thousand years of history.
Two thousand years that have invited our rural populations to the taming of these wild lands, and now we offer you the good that nature has given and that the whole world envies us: our wine. The memory makes great a country and everything that makes our past the result of passion, dedication and sacrifice. The Latium name remembers us and to all those who appreciate good wine that our roots are ancient and noble, as noble and ancient are the scents of the wines that we offer.

The Provolo Farm is located in the heart of the hilly Mezzane valley to the east of Lake Garda and, since 1927, for three generations has been carrying out the art of making wine with the care and the skills of those who consider wine a vocation.
The happy geographical position of the vineyards, located exclusively in the hills at an altitude of 250–300 meters, and the ideal composition of the soil, make the area particularly suitable for the cultivation of vineyards destined for other purposes. The company today boasts twenty hectares of vineyards and is managed entirely by the owners, who devote themselves with particular attention to the cultivation of vines and to the equally scrupulous and accurate work in the preparation of wine.
The company’s policy does not want to flaunt figures, but offer wines of high quality.
The Roccolo Grassi company was founded in 1996 with the will of producing great wines in a highly suited for viticulture area.
Moreover, from the great passion for the world of wine, but only for the one of the highest quality, to say, for those bottles able to give an emotion and leave a memory. Roccolo Grassi is an ambitious project, but with character and family management; the goal of Marco, Francesca and father Bruno is to produce great grapes ad a few bottles but of the highest quality. For this reason, the number of bottles varies depending on the quality of the vintage.
