From choosing the right ingredients to extracting the flavour

Preserve the ancient recipe given to Giannino Risatti. This was the task given to Michele Schonsberg, an expert winemaker who helped us to bring Frutto del Garda into the 21st century. The process begins in Giardino Risatti, where day after day, 50 species of citrus, olives and walnuts are harvested when they reach their aromatic peak and placed in alcohol. Following this gradual infusion and once the precious flavours have been extracted, the resultant blend is mixed with local botanicals, carefully infused in turn.
