The whole property is 10 hectares wide and divided among 3 different municipalities: Salò , Soprazocco and Puegnago del Garda. The altitude is 350 meters above sea level. The soil is glacial morainic, with a high percentage of sand and mud and, therefore, not very fruitful but particularly fit for the grape growing. It definitely leads to a high quality wine production. In the vineyards the average density of the trees goes from 4500 to 7000 vines per hectare and the training system is the simple “Guyot” with 7 to 9 gems per tree. As regards the different varieties there is a good mix between indigenous and international grapes. For the reds: Groppello, Marzemino and Rebo are well- matched with international grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot which, by the way, have the peculiarity to have a strong and thick skin which is pretty resistant to the weather conditions and also lead to very good results with late harvesting (up to October 15 – 20). |

| As far as the whites are concerned there is a little cultivation of the indigenous grape Erbamatt and a higher presence of Chardonnay and Sauvignon which are used in the production of the leading Trevisani's white wine named Balì. The Trevisani brothers put a big focus in the work they do in the vineyard during the year, from the pruning to the thinning they do believe that this is the base that allows the creation of choice wines. As far as the harvest is concerned the crucial aspect is in the scrupulous selection of the best bunches. |
