The sweet wine of the Valle dei Laghi

Vino Santo Trentino DOC  

The sweet wine of the Valle dei Laghi

Vino Santo Trentino DOC is the most precious wine of Garda Trentino. Its name, “Holy Wine”, comes from its unique production process, which includes the traditional pressing of grapes during the week before Easter. Made exclusively in the Valle dei Laghi, this sweet wine uses only Nosiola, Trentino’s native white grape.

Its natural drying process, the longest in the world for a passito wine, its slow fermentation, and its extremely limited production make it truly special. It’s thus no surprise that it’s recognised as a Slow Food Presidium, a global project that protects traditional foods and sustainable production. This is a wine so special, it’s often called “the passito of all passiti”, a benchmark among dessert wines.

Wineries of the Valle dei Laghi
Vino Santo Trentino DOC is produced only in the Valle dei Laghi, between Trento and Lake Garda: it’s a small area in terms of size, but rich in tradition. Here, several wineries carry on the craft of Vino Santo with skill and dedication, passing down their knowledge from one generation to the next. Each bottle tells a story of patience, family heritage, and deep respect for the land.
