The farm of Gelmino and Cristina Dal Bosco is situated in the hamlet of Brognoligo, in the heart of the Soave Classico production area, which is limited only to the communes of Soave and Monteforte d’Alpone, in the province of Verona.
The company started in 2002, after the family gave up selling their grapes to a local wine Cooperative and began a proper vinification. The farm grows 9 hectares vineyard divided in many small pieces all situated in the hills of Brognoligo. The more united piece is the “Battistelle vineyard” situated in the cru of the “Castellaro” hill and the cellar takes its name right from it. It is here, where the vine-growing activity is a very old one, that between the highest and pebbly hills, where the soil is of volcanic origin that the grape variety Garganega matures and best expresses all its power and gives unique wines, not repeatable anywhere. A mix of structure and elegance surrounded by a well balanced acidity and minerality.
Gelmino’s farm, based on familiar conduction has great respect of the vine-growing tradition of the zone trusting that only working with the primitive vine variety and pressing for a vine growing which expects high quality we can obtain typical and singular wines able to make a positive impression to the consumer. The house sign is the “gerle”, Which were used until years ago to carry out grapes from the hilly vineyards; it is an important document that gives evidence to the ancient vocated area.
OUR WINES
SOAVE DOC CLASSICO I RASOLI
The "I Rasoli" vineyard comes from ultracentenary vines.
In few bottles the emotion of an almost disappeared vine
ROCCOLO DEL DURLO SOAVE DOC CLASSICO
The Roccolo Del Durlo vineyard is situated on one of the best volcanic terroirs in all of Soave Classico. The main characteristics of this vineyard are its steep slopes, held together by dry-stone wall terrasses made of basalt rocks, and its old vines, many of which are over a century old. In this idyllic environment, the Garganega grape conveys a kind of special emotion which cannot be found elsewhere.
BATTISTELLE SOAVE DOC CLASSICO
Because of its extremely steep slopes, the Battistelle single vineyard demands exceptional artisanal expertise to grow the revered Garganega. A labour of love.
MONTESEI SOAVE DOC CLASSICO
This wine comes from several small south-facing vineyards in the historic Soave Classico area. The volcanic soils are also rich in clay and silt.
SETTEMBRINO SOAVE SPUMANTE
Settembrino is a fresh Soave bubble calling the most elegant and delicate aromas of the pure Garganega
