Producer Pack: Villa Calicantus

Discover the essence of Bardolino with Villa Calicantus's four-bottle pack showcasing their range from the shores of beautiful Lake Garda in Veneto. This pack gives you a complete picture of what they do – proving that Bardolino can produce wines suitable for aging while maintaining the drinkability and freshness the region is known for.

This pack includes 2023 'Sollazzo' Pet Nat (fresh, vibrant sparkling), 2024 'Chiar'otto' Rosato (elegant rosé), 2021 Bardolino Superiore 'Lasuperiora' (structured red with aging potential), and 2021 Bardolino Superiore 'Avresir' (complex, age-worthy red).

Villa Calicantus is a biodynamic producer located in Bardolino on the shores of Lake Garda in Veneto, one of Italy's most stunning wine regions. Lake Garda, with its crystal-clear waters, dramatic mountain backdrop, and Mediterranean climate, is not only a beloved travel destination but also creates ideal conditions for viticulture. The moderating influence of the lake brings gentle breezes and reflected sunlight that help the grapes ripen slowly and evenly.

'It is not only a winery, but also a dream, a dream made of passion, respect and love for the land: to prove that it is possible to produce great wine for ageing in the Bardolino area. The area of Bardolino Classico has always been considered only suitable to produce young and ready to drink wines. However, here at Villa Calicantus we are certain that, by following a strict and meticulous work schedule in the vines, it is possible to obtain wines which both respect the typical characteristics of Bardolino and are suitable for ageing, where drinkability finally marries with complexity.'

Together, these four wines showcase what makes Villa Calicantus special – biodynamic farming, respect for tradition, and the belief that Bardolino can produce wines with both drinkability and complexity. Perfect for exploring one of Lake Garda's most exciting producers or for those who've fallen in love with this beautiful region.
