Our DIVINOROSSO Farm is a small family-run business, with properties mostly inherited from our grandparents.
We are located in the heart of Valtenesi, an area devoted since medieval times to the cultivation of olive trees and vines, on the Brescian hills of Lake Garda. A singular land, of morainic origin, which also thanks to a particular microclimate, favors crops to give their best.
In Soiano del Lago, olive groves of Casaliva (a native plant of Benaco), Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino varieties are located. This blend of olives, gives us our prized EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, known for its unique chemical and organoleptic qualities, now considered one of the best oils in Italy and Europe.
In Polpenazze del Garda, REVEE and SAN PIETRO vineyards are cultivated for the production of CHIARETTO Garda Classico. In Calvagese della Riviera, on the other hand, the TERZAGO vineyard is suited to the production of GROPPELLO Garda Classico.
We take care of our soils with humility and dedication, as our families taught us; we respect the bond with the territory of which we are part, exploiting natural resources and decreasing the external inputs of fertilizers and phytosanitary, thus reducing pollution and improving the balance that regulates the ecosystem. All in a logic of respect for the environment and consequently protection of the consumer and the quality of our products.
An authentic wine, the highest expression of the territory of origin, harvested in September. Vinification continues, with a contact of about 12 to 15 days and frequent pumping over with the skins. A long aging in stainless steel barrels of about nine months and a continuation of 3 months in the bottle make it a structured wine with character, purplish-red in color, fragrant and slightly spicy with hints of almonds. Excellent with skewers, braised meats, game and savory cheeses.
Typical Valtènesi wine, harvested normally in mid-September and vinified with a contact of about 10 to 12 days and frequent pumping over on the skins. An aging in stainless steel barrels for a few months and a continuation in the bottle complete the vinification. It is a unique wine of extraordinary drinkability, savory and balanced. It has a garnet red color with a long harmonious finish. Excellent with roasts, grills, white and red meats in general, fresh or semi-mature cheeses.
Harvested usually in mid-September and processed with a very brief skin contact of 10 to 12 hours, depending on the temperature variability of the grapes (hence its nickname “one-night wine”). Drawn, then, from the barrel before natural fermentation, it produces a rosé wine for fresh drinking. It is a harmonious, floral wine with hints of berries.
It is aged in stainless steel barrels for a few months and then bottled. Excellent as an aperitif, lake fish, white meats and desserts.
The plantation is located in Soiano del Lago, Sottomonte locality and is composed of both adult (even centenarian) and young olive trees. Between the first days of November and December, the olive harvest takes place. The best oil is obtained precisely in this period: the olives offer, in fact, the maximum organoleptic substances and the fruitiness tends to green (green tomatoes). Our harvesting is done entirely by hand with the help of combs and small electric shakers for the highest part of the plant, preserving, in this way, the integrity of the fruit and ensuring a High Quality oil. The fruit is placed in ventilated boxes for a short time to avoid overheating, moisture or mold phenomena and, within 24 hours, is transported to the mill for milling. Normally the daily harvest is about 5 quintals. From field to mill, DIVINOROSSO Farm’s extra virgin olive oil is obtained by cold pressing and has very low acidity (0.2% – 0.3%). It expresses a fragrant flavor with fruity aftertaste, which accompanies the daily diet with value. This oil can be consumed raw or cooked. It is excellent for cooking, as frying or temperature changes enhance its flavors, while still ensuring lightness and digestibility.
