Villa Calicantus is a biodynamic winery in the heart of Bardolino Classico, on the southeastern shore of Lake Garda, Verona.
We are Chiara and Daniele Delaini: we work in biodynamic (Demeter certified) eight hectares of vineyards and produce around 40,000 bottles annually, depending on the climatic conditions of the vintage.
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. 
Our vineyards are located on three of the best hills of Bardolino, where we cultivate the native Verona grapes, Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, to produce five wines that aim to be five authentic and unique expressions of these grapes and their terroir.

  • Not all grapes are dry-farmed. Some are irrigated (Our soil is very poor and reach in stones; if it doesn't rain for one month, if it's 40°C and if the vines start to have yellow leaves, we can decide to water the young vines.).
  • All grapes are harvested manually.
