Massimo Brutti
Located on the moraine hills south of Lake Garda, in northern Italy, is one of the
brands with which Massimo Brutti, co-owner of Poggio delle Grazie, produces the
DOC line of Bardolino, Chiaretto, and Custoza.
The company, in biological conversion, believes in respecting nature and the raw
materials, to obtain wines that are fully representative of the territory.
The soils are mostly made of clay and stone, the harvest is only by hand, the
