Villa Calicantus is one of the brightest and most distinctive wineries on the Veronese side of Lake Garda. In Calmasino, on the oldest hills of Bardolino Classico, Daniele Delaini has brought a historic property back to life, restoring the viticulture of this area to its purest form: artisanal, elegant, and deeply agricultural.

Daniele works like a winemaker of yesteryear, but with a very modern sensibility: few vines, very low yields, strict organic farming, spontaneous fermentations, and long aging. No shortcuts, no standardization. Only the desire to make Bardolino what it once was: a light, vibrant, living wine, yet capable of surprising depth and complexity.

The secret lies in the morainic soils and breezy hills, which give the wines a unique fragrance: crisp cherry, subtle spices, lake herbs, saline freshness. From delicate reds to Chiaretto rosés, up to the rare "high parcels," each label is a small fragment of the territory told without artifice.

Villa Calicantus has become a reference for those seeking finesse, transparency, and authenticity. It is the noblest and most contemporary face of Bardolino: an idea of wine that imitates nothing and no one, and for this very reason, leaves a lasting impression.
