Producer's Notes:

"Less than a mile from the beautiful southern shoreline of lake Garda, Le Morette uses only the best estate-grown fruit. Not to be confused with their cousins who own the Zenato bottling company, this branch of the Zenato family tree has been grafting vines, studying indigenous varieties, and farming the land for three generations. The winery derives its name from a local duck, sacred to the ancient Etruscans, still protected and highly regarded today. To protect the nesting habitat for these special birds there are no chemicals used in the vineyards. The family’s expertise with the unique glacial soils around lake Garda help exemplify the flavor and character of their native varieties: The historic white grape, Turbiana (related to Verdicchio) and the classic red grapes; Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Fabio and his brother Paolo are creating some of the most compelling examples from the native grapes of lake Garda. With organic practices and affiliated with World Biodiversity Association."
