A Winery Incorporating Forgotten Local Grape Varieties in the Veneto

Gentili Azienda Agricola, a New Generation with a New Way

Gentili Azienda Agricola Winery is a 40-year-old winery located in the northern area of DOC Bardolino. Enrico Gentili has been running the winery since 2010, along with his sister Elisa. A few years ago, Enrico Gentili, son of the founder Carlo, decided to bottle the best wines of his production and wrote his name on the labels for the first time.

Today, Enrico’s primary goal is to improve the reputation of Bardolino wines and incorporate forgotten local grapes varieties such as Trebianel.
