Producer
Founded in 1989 by the Allegrini family, Corte Giara was created to offer a contemporary, approachable expression of Veneto’s classic varieties while drawing on the Allegrini family’s long-standing winemaking expertise. The wines are produced from grapes hailing from the family’s own vineyards and a trusted network of local growers who share the same commitment to quality and sustainability.
Growers follow eco-conscious viticulture, with no herbicides or pesticides, water use is monitored, and wines are bottled in lightweight glass with environmentally mindful packaging.
Corte Giara’s reds, from Valpolicella to Ripasso and Amarone, are sourced from hillside vineyards at 180–250 metres, where the Corvina offers juicy freshness and a supple tannin profile. The Pinot Grigio hails from sites around Lake Garda, producing clean, vibrant wines with clarity and lift.
Vineyards
The vineyards are situated in the eastern, morainic hills of Lake Garda with an elevation of 200-250 metres above sea level. These vines are planted with a south/south-west exposure on stony, well drained soils. They are trained with Guyot system, with a plant density of 3,000 vines per hectare. The average age of the vines is 31 years. All this means the fruit produced is concentrated with good depth of varietal character.
Vintage
The 2025 growing season offered favourable conditions, producing grapes of excellent quality. Mild spring weather and timely rainfall supported even growth and fruit set, while summer warmth with cool nights preserved acidity and enhanced aromatics. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes reached the winery in pristine condition. The resulting wines are expressive, fresh, and aromatic, reflecting the character of the region.
Vinification
The grapes were whole bunch pressed, and the must was fermented in stainless-steel tanks for 8-10 days. At the end of the fermentation, the wine was then aged in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by 2 months bottle ageing before release.
Tasting Notes & Technical Details
This wine is bright straw yellow in colour. On the nose, there are aromas of pear accompanied by wildflowers and a subtle, delicate smoky nuance. The palate is dry, with a good grip and a satisfying, fine mouthfeel.
