Bellaguardia: A Historic Winery with a View

Located in Montecchio Maggiore, Vicenza, Bellaguardia Winery sits beneath the enchanting castles of Romeo and Giulietta. Founded by Isidoro Maccagnan and Marco Caltran, this winery has deep roots in family tradition. Marco’s father acquired the land in the 1980s to produce wine for their family. The stunning Villa and castles, built in 1354 by Cangrande II of Verona, create a picturesque backdrop. While Giulietta’s castle serves as a restaurant, Romeo’s castle hosts various cultural events, enriching the local heritage.

Exceptional Sparkling Wines

Bellaguardia is renowned for its exquisite sparkling wines, crafted from grapes grown in ideal conditions. The region's unique carbonate-rich soil, combined with cool nights and fresh air, nurtures ripe, flavorful grapes. The winery spans 6 hectares, utilizing the Trentino pergola method to optimize grape growth and quality.

Sustainable Winemaking Practices

At Bellaguardia, sustainable agricultural methods are a priority, enhancing soil quality while protecting the environment. The primary grape varieties cultivated here are Durello and Pinot Bianco, both essential for their sparkling wines.

Using the classic method, Bellaguardia produces sparkling wines that reflect the region's terroir. This meticulous process can take up to three years, resulting in wines that showcase the dedication and expertise of the winemakers.

I had the privilege of tasting Bellaguardia wines in the Castle Caves, a temple where silence and time accompany the slow and natural maturation of the wine. A great emotion that is renewed every time I open a bottle of this wine.

The Montecchi wine is excellent, the new addition to the Bellaguardia winery, elegant and soft, a real pleasure to be able to drink from our territory with these levels of quality. A beautiful discovery.
