Today Giulia Franchetto manages the winemaking in the winery.

“In my wines I seek the authentic expression of my land and its history. I imagine my wines clean, direct and free to express their character. This is why my dad and I have chosen to work in a simple way, allowing our wines to be a pure expression of the grapes and the territory in which they were born." says Giulia.

The vineyard is located in the area of the Val d'Alpone: in the mountains of Vestenanova at an altitude of 500 m.a.s.l.

Almost 40 years ago, when the first vineyards were planted, it was faced with a real challenge: an unfamiliar micro-climate and physiology. After the first years of "settling in" the results began to arrive, so much so that the desire to plant new vineyards in this extraordinary landscape grew.

Today in Vestenanova there are 7 hectares, suited to the production of high-quality wines.

• Organic - Independently Certified

• Biodynamic - Independently Certified

1* Up & Coming
In the rolling hills of Verona, Italy, Cantina Franchetto has been family-owned since 1950, with three generations shaping its story. Today, 22 hectares of vineyards—nestled among patches of preserved woodland—are cultivated with care, reflecting a deep respect for the land and its biodiversity.

Since 2009, the estate has been energetically independent thanks to its rooftop photovoltaic system, producing 100% renewable energy, including on-site generation. This commitment to sustainability extends through every aspect of the business, from vineyard management to wine tasting experiences.

Viticulture here is dedicated to preserving the environment in every task. Native plants are actively encouraged, soil health is carefully nurtured, and the use of synthetic treatments is kept to an absolute minimum, with a strong preference for organic alternatives. Sulphur is used only as a last resort, and the estate is practising organic methods, even without formal certification.

In the cellar, the philosophy is clear: keep intervention low and let the terroir shine. Wines are crafted using selected native yeasts, with minimal sulphur in still whites and moderate levels for sparkling wines. All wines are vegan-friendly, and bentonite clay is used as a natural fining agent where needed.

Cantina Franchetto plays an active role in its local community, regularly participating in events and initiatives. Strong female leadership drives the business forward, ensuring that its values of quality, respect, and environmental care remain at the heart of its identity.

With a vision to be recognised as a high-quality winery that captures the essence of its terroir in every bottle, Cantina Franchetto continues to blend tradition, innovation, and sustainability in perfect harmony.
