Description

Soracuna is our daily red wine. The grapes come from three parcels of vineyard in Veronese pergola located on the hills just above the village of Bardolino. Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and a pinch of Merlot, fermented and refined in concrete tanks, like it was used in the past. The name Soracuna comes from two words of the local dialect ” Sora ” and ” Cuna ” meaning ” Above ” and ” Baby cot”: “going for SORA CUNA”, in our village, means going to party at the house of a new born. 2017 was the first year of production of this wine and in 2017 Anna, our daughter, was born: so we decided to name this wine as a beautiful day of celebration!

From this winery
Villa Calicantus is a small biodynamic winery in Calmasino, in the heart of Bardolino Classico, just a stone’s throw from the southeastern shore of Lake Garda. We are Chiara and Daniele Delaini: we work 8 hectares of vineyards and produce between 30,000 and 40,000 bottles annually, depending on the climatic conditions of the vintage. Our vineyards are located on three of the best hills of Bardolino, where, not far from Lake Garda, we cultivate the native Verona grapes, Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, to produce 5 wines that aim to be 5 authentic and unique expressions of these grapes and their terroir.

Our viticulture is of high quality: all our hard work in the vineyard is focused on the well-being and balance of the vines, to obtain grapes capable of producing long-lasting and complex wines. Respect for the vine and the soil, uncompromising work in the vineyard, and long aging in the cellar allow us to produce unique wines that tell the story of the territory, the grape varieties, and the vintage from which they come. Our goal is to put Bardolino back on the map of great Italian wines, through a rediscovery of the true, forgotten identity of a wine with immense potential.
