T
he Azienda Agricola Letrari was created by Leonello
Letrari and his wife Maria Vittoria in 1976, as they decided it
was the time to turn into a new enterprise the experiences they
made as managers of another inportant Company of the area.
The enthusiasm they spent in their creation was such that later
on they were joined in the management by the daughter Lucia and
the son Paolo Emilio.
Today the Letrari Vineyards consist in 23 hectares resting in a
territory that goes from the south countryside of Trento to the
area around the small ancient village of Borghetto all’Adige,
where the letrari Family dates back since almost 1647.
The Region is a various combination of landscape, terroir and
micro-climate and this was the reason why we selected several
vine variety to suit at best the vocation of each one of the
Letrari’s Vineyards.
The careful selection of vines varieties, together with the low
production pro hectare, guarantee excellence of the grapes
produced here. The main part of the property is located south in
the Valley where the soil is poor and rocky, and the climate is
more temperate, so that vines here still co-exist alongside
olive groves.
But the modern “ Cantina”, inaugurated in Spring 2000, was built
in the green hart of Rovereto, with a stile that reminds the old
rural constructions of the Valley, with ist low profile, the
classical court and the flowering garden lapped by the vines.
It is open to visitors all around the year, and offers to the
tourist an oasis of relax where he can taste our wines and learn
the “secrets of the art”.
