Experiencing the real Italy near Lake Garda
Not fancy or frilly but most definitely welcoming and comfortable just a few kilometers south of the town of Sirmione (on the shores of Lake Garda).
After traveling by high-speed train (Italo) from Rome to Verona my wife and I picked up a car rental and stopped at our first agriturismo, Borgo San Donino.? ?Although it was in the evening (5:10 PM/1710) and the night before All Saints Day the manager (Lara) waited for us.? That night we were the only guests.? She brought us to our room and showed us the breakfast room.
The following day (when practically everything else was closed) Lara welcomed us into the tasting room of Selva Capuzza.? Although I have had many different Italian wines, I had never tasted Lugana DOC wine before.
All the wines were very good. If you are looking to experience some outstanding authentic Italian wine and food you would not be disappointed.
The area restaurants were also very good, especially Ristorante Cascina Capuzza, Osteria Alla Torre, and Ristorante L'Incontro.
We would love to return earlier in the fall with warmer weather!

1 年Mark Norman per un amante come te in particolare dei vini rossi settembre, diciamo dal 10 per poi scollinare ad ottobre, è il mese più appropriato. Ancora un bel clima e inizia la vendemmia per le uve di appassimento...non credo ti sarà difficile trovare da vendemmiare ???? Poi vedi tu, la vendemmia incomincia dal 20 agosto, uve precoci chardonnay pinot grigio, merlot primi di settembre, dal 20 in poi tutte le uve a scalare fino a fine ottobre. Questo in linea di massima....
