Since 1938, the Franzosi family has been producing wines and extra virgin olive oil, defined as the treasures of the Lake Garda, in Puegnago del Garda, in Valtenesi, located on the western shore of Garda Lake, the beautiful Riviera of Garda Bresciano, in the north of Italy.
Cantina Franzosi is now directed by Paola, Giovanni and Luigi, representing the third generation of family ownership, combining tradition and innovation, knowledge and respect for nature. A great value is dedicated to Lake Garda's terroir, so that wines are the expression of the soil, the climate and the cultivation in the vineyard.
The winery is located on the hill of Monte Aullo. There are 30 hectares of vineyards, located at an altitude between 100 and 300 meters from sea level and 6 hectares dedicated to olive tree with more than 2.500 plants between Leccino olives, a cultivar present in the Lake Garda area since the beginning of the 20th century and Casaliva, a typical autochthonous variety from Lake Garda, a complex and intense extra virgin olive oil, characterized by distinct tangy and spicy notes and hints of green clover.
