Giovanna Tantini

Giovanna Tantini is the original 'garagista' from Bardolino, beginning her winemaking at this small estate in Bardolino literally in her garage. With just eight vintages under her belt, Giovanna has almost single-handedly re-invented Bardolino. The region, on Lake Garda, is regarded as a poor cousin of neighbouring Valpolicella and the wine is often a light, rosato style. But not here!Giovanna's 11 hectares of Corvina, Rondinella, Cabernet and Merlot are farmed organically. TREMBATH & TAYLOR
