Pratello
Above the morainic hills on the southern shore of Lake Garda in Veneto, Pratello works from a historic hamlet-estate—rooted in the Bertola family’s story since the late 1800s, when the farm began shaping land, vines and people into one place.
The lake acts like a natural thermostat: bright days, steady breezes and cooler nights meet clay-rich soils threaded with mineral salts. Pratello commits to certified organic farming (since the 2000s), cover crops and meticulous canopy work to capture local varieties with clarity—from Turbiana in Lugana to red grapes typical of the Garda hills.
In the cellar, the aim is precision without make‑up: hand harvesting, careful settling of must, and parcel‑driven élevage that moves between steel and wood, often with time on lees. The resulting house style doesn’t chase flash; it foregrounds origin, texture and a calm, contemporary sense of balance.Pratello
