Cantina del Castello

This top producer of Soave was established in the 1960s and is now run by Arturo Stocchetti and his daughter Giuglia. They aim to produce structured, fresh wines showing the typicity and terroir of Soave. The winery is located at the Sanbonifacio’s court palace in Corte Pittora, a building at the foot of the Scaligero Castle in Soave. A tunnel located under the palace, leading to the castle itself, was once used as a secret passageway, and hence Cantina del Castello (‘winery of the castle’) was born. Arturo is also the president of the Consorzio del Soave, and his passion for the region and its wines is undeniable. The estate totals 13 hectares of vines which sit on the volcanic Classico part of the appellation. Stylistically, the wines combine beautiful richness and energy, meaning they are full of personality and lively and enticing. They fit very nicely into our portfolio. The Soave Classico is 90% Garganega and 10% Trebbiano di Soave from two different vineyards. Vinified in stainless steel, the aim here is maintaining freshness to balance the natural richness of the variety.
