Vineyard of Costalunga
Vineyard of Costalunga is the latest purchase of the family Fornaser. It is bordered by the extreme part of Valpolicella, in the municipal district of Sant’Ambrogio with an ideal altitude of 350 m. Costalunga is composed of terracing’s with a full exposure to sunlight from east to west because of the remarkable expansion, as its name suggests. (“Costalunga” means “Long coast”, that is to say a long and wide territory with a particularly fortunate position and exposure to sunlight). The vineyard offers new qualitative nuances to the production of the Fornasers thanks to a conjunction of very successful events.

The red land, which is clayey and rich in skeleton gravel, (little pebbles), and a great microclimate, which becomes milder thanks to the reverberation of Lake Garda, in conjunction with the mountains of Lessina, and the winds from the river basin of the Adige river, together they nourish the plants, protecting them from illnesses and giving the wine evocative flavours, which are typical of this specific terrain and is characterised by its indisputable prestige. Thanks to the drainage and to the terracing with dry-stone walls that were built by the family Fornaser, the Vineyard of Costalunga represents the realisation of the most important calling of a territory, which is situated in an invaluable zone for the wine production.
