Label / history

Tenuta Valleselle is a country villa in the hills near Lake Garda, not far from Bardolino. It is surrounded by 12 hectares of vineyards and olive groves owned by Tinazzi. The family acquired the estate in 1986 and restored it. It now receives guests, who can taste wines from the cellar, explore the vineyards and hold celebrations there.
