Located in Northern Italy, at the foot of the breath-taking Dolomites, near the renowned Garda Lake and the city of Trento, Cantina Rotaliana has over 80 years of experience in creating great tasting Wines and Sparkling Wines.

Cantina Rotaliana gained its name after a merger back in 1968. When the winery was first created in 1931, it was called Cantina Cooperativa di Mezzolombardo. The winery would then join forces with another winery, Società Enologica Rotaliana, to create the name we know today, Cantina Rotaliana di Mezzolombardo.

“A quality wine, rich but still very fruity, with tropical notes of pineapple, banana, mango, honeydew melon, along with floral, citrus, lemons and green apples, a joyful experience in every glass.” – Glass of Bubbly
