The name L’Ora is dedicated to the Aura Aurea, the “golden breeze” blowing form lake Garda. This white wine, invitingly golden itself, is the product of deeply rooted Trentino oenological traditions. Autoctonous Nosiola grapes are dried on grates before vinification, then the wine is aged in small Acacia wood barrels. This process yields rich, honeyed hues and a full aromatic patrimony including fresh, wild hazelnuts and budding white grapevine flowers. On the palate it is dense and smooth yet balanced against a firm acidity and lively mineral quality.
We have been growing vines for over 40 years, interpreting nature in order to enhance our heritage of labour, constant cultural challenges, in the midst of seasonal differences that evolve into wonderful pleasures.
Our job is all about dedication and spontaneity. The things that help our intuitions are patience and wine’s natural strength. We learn from our land and we let each phase of the grape’s transformation reflect how natural this process is.
To do so, our winemaking technology is willingly reduced to a minimum. The grapes are pressed and fall into the fermentation vats, then into the barrels and finally into bottles.
We are deeply connected to the agricultural culture here in Trentino, we hold tightly on to tradition, growing also indigenous varieties, which represent our land and our beliefs.
Vineyards swept by the lakes’ gentle breeze under the clear sky of our Dolomites. The perfect climate, mitigated by the Ora, the wind sweeping the Valle all the way from Lake Garda.
What gives a soul to our products is our land, with all its different traits.
We have selected the perfect variety for every plot of land, without forcing nature. Our goal is to become part of the synergy between the winemaking process, the territory and the seasons without disrupting it. In our fields, we unite experimentation and tradition. We believe that you have to understand the future of winemaking, we have to hold on to tradition.
We have chosen to grow many different varieties of local vines, first of all Nosiola, and we have also saved certain varieties which were at risk of disappearing, such as Negrara.

We do this with the utmost respect for biodiversity, and we do this out of our passion for growing vines... only to make wine.
Maturation: After short drying on grates, the wine is aged in small Acacia wood barrels.
