Villa San Carlo: A Scenic Winery in Veneto

Villa San Carlo is a charming winery located in the picturesque hills east of Verona, Italy. Established by the Pavesi Family in 1958, the winery spans 70 hectares of lush land, characterized by its favorable climate and stunning views. The estate is adorned with ancient stone terraces that support the growth of vineyards, olive groves, and orchards, creating a serene environment for wine production.

Quality Over Quantity in Wine Production

While Villa San Carlo has the capacity to produce a significant amount of wine, the winery focuses on crafting a limited number of bottles each year. This approach allows for meticulous grape selection, ensuring the highest quality in every bottle. The family cultivates traditional grape varieties native to the Valpolicella region, including Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, while also incorporating other varieties like Cabernet, Croatina, and Teroldego.

The Art of Appassimento at Villa San Carlo

At Villa San Carlo, the unique appassimento technique is employed to enhance the flavors and sugars in the grapes. This drying process takes place in their dedicated fruit room and is essential for producing rich wines such as Amarone, Valpolicella Superiore, Valpolicella Ripasso, and Recioto della Valpolicella. Visitors can enjoy guided tours of the vineyards, witnessing the winemaking process firsthand, followed by tastings of the exceptional wines that have garnered international acclaim. Tours are also available in Japanese, catering to a diverse audience.

I purchased the trial kit, which I have already finished. One of the best Kombucha found in Europe. The space-age Purple Passion flavour, also perfect for its low sugar percentage.

This is the best kombucha I’ve ever had! We were happy to find this place in a Google search for kombucha and were so impressed by the kindness of Giacomo who gave us a tour of the factory and allowed us to sample some of their unique flavors. We bought a dozen bottles and will be regular customers when we return to Verona. If you love kombucha and are in Verona, this is where to find it!

We stumbled across this kombucha factory and met a lovely staff member who gave us a tour of the kombucha brewery and a taste test of their unique flavors. It was such a welcoming and kind exchange and I was so happy we were able to purchase some of their flavors. They come in glass bottles or cans and range from basil, peach, mint, watermelon to more traditional flavors like lemon ginger. I would’ve loved to try much more and I’m sad they only exist in Italy (for now). So definitely worth a visit or an online purchase if you want to taste uniquely flavoured, non pasteurised and naturally fermented drinks! These are the best kombuchas I have tried so far, plus the workers are just really kind.
