Melgab International CC

Originating in 1964 at Lazise, on the banks of Lake Garda, the House of Lamberti was the first to identify the right way to re-present the products of the Veneto and, in particular, those of Verona. Typical examples are Bardolino and Valpolicella, as well as Amarone. The white wines include Lugana, Soave and the leading semi-sparkler: Turà.
