Tenuta Corte Giacobbe
Roncà, Veneto, Italy
“The markets today are conversations; they are Twitter, posts, likes. It is crucial to understand, but even more so to listen to what people are saying, in order to appreciate which wine they will like.” - Dal Cero Family Winery.
The Dal Cero Family Winery is responsible for the incredible Tenuta di Corte Giacobbe wines. Most of the wines are produced in an organic and biodynamic way as far as possible to ensure the very best of nature’s influence.
The winery started in 1934 when Augusto Del Cero purchased a piece of land nestled near two inactive volcanos. His dream was to produce extraordinary wines, and he dedicated his life to doing so.
After Augusto died in 1980, his sons, Daro and Giuseppe, took over and focused on the Cortona variety. Like their father, they had ambitious goals to produce premium red wines, and this Cortona variety would prove to lead them in that direction.
With time, the winery continued to grow, introducing more varieties, land, and continuous excellence. This constant growth has allowed them to grow grapes in Soave, Valpolicella, and Montecchiesi. Today, their ranges include aromatic Soave, Pinot Grigio, and even Chardonnay. Their reds include the iconic Valpolicella, Amarone, and Sangiovese wines.
One of their wines also includes a sparkling wine that was named in honor of their father. This zero-dosage, Cuvee wine is produced in a distinct way, using Austrian oak. It is a one-of-a-kind wine that fits well with all the extraordinary wines that are made here.
With this vast selection of wines, you can be sure that the Tenuta wines cater to every palate.
