Tenuta di Corte Giacobbe
Veneto, Italy
The vineyards surrounding the ancient Corte Giacobbe are located on the slopes of two extinct volcanoes, Calvarina and Crocetta: soils generally of volcanic origin, composed of lava and tuff, rich in microelements.In the estate’s own vineyards, Garganega, Durella, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio vines are cultivated under the careful care of the Dal Cero family.
The particular geological history characteristically influences the mineral and organic constitution of the berries, determining the strong aromatic and mineral characteristics of the grapes and the pleasant sapidity of the wine.
Specifically, Corte Giacobbe’s Crus wines are the fruit of vineyards grown on the volcano’s summit in soil characterised by high mineral content.

Corte Giacobbe are on the border between the two provinces of Verona and Vicenza, within the Soave and Lessini Durello appellations, and the vineyards stretch over the hills surrounding the two volcanoes, Calvarina and Crocetta. At about 600 metres, there is a unique view as far east as Venice from the top. In the upper part, terrace cultivation is interspersed with large areas of woodland, mostly Acacia trees.
The soil, in general, is rich in basalt and grey and black tufa, which determines the strong aromatic and mineral characteristics of the grapes and the pleasant sapidity of the wine.
