Who makes it?

Founded by Gino Zenato in the early 60’s, this family winery was originally set up as a nursery to produce vine stock for the local area. In 1981 Gino’s son, Valerio, stepped into the company and it is his influence and skill that have brought the company to where it is today.

The Lugana DOC sits on the edge of Lake Garda in Northern Italy. The lake itself influences the vineyards, creating a more suitablie climate for growing grapes for high quality wines.

One of the things we love about Le Morette is the winery’s passion for environmental practices. They don’t use herbicides and synthetic fertilisers. They plant cover crops in the vineyards to attract the greatest number of insects for the benefit of vegetative balance. Irrigation is only used in emergencies They even make their own honey.

How is it made?

Fermentation is in stainless steel with natural yeasts. The wine ages for 12 months on the lees with a portion of the wine ageing in 500l oak barrels

What does it taste like?

Citrus flavours and notes of white peach combine with candied notes, spice and a long mineral finish.
