Balestri Valda

Balestri Valda is a family winery in the Soave area, where it focuses on local grape varieties and the distinctive character of its land. Its wines are made primarily from Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave, grown on hills with ancient volcanic tuff and limestone soils. The winery favors low yields and careful winemaking to create balanced, expressive wines suited to drinking young or aging.

Viticulture is guided by respect for nature and biodiversity. The estate follows organic farming principles, avoids pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers, and supports habitats for bees among its vineyards, flowers, woods, and fruit trees. Its cellar is energy self-sufficient through solar power.

Balestri Valda also welcomes guests for visits and wine tastings, offering an opportunity to learn about its vineyard and cellar practices. Visitors can stay in suites set within an eighteenth-century farmhouse among vineyards and olive groves, with views of Soave Castle and the surrounding hills. The winery’s shop is open by telephone appointment, and its website shares news and events featuring its wines.
