In the Lombardy region we were able to visit the Pratello vineyards and enjoy the company of the winemaker, Vincenzo Bertola and his lovely wife.
The Pratello farm is situated on the hills, near the Brescia shore of the Garda Lake. The lake gives out a calm and delightful warmth that heats the land, vineyards, terraced olives and the hearts and souls of those living, working and visiting there.
From the vineyards to the wine cellar to age in the beautiful barrels. The juice of these beautiful grapes was on its was to becoming wonderful and delicious wine.
…..and then a feast to enjoy these beautiful wines…………. what gracious hosts!!!
