About

The story of Cristoforetti and Delibori is one of genuine friendship, respect for the land, and a commitment to people, passed down from generation to generation. This shared passion is embraced by a young, dedicated team with a deep-rooted connection to the territory.

Founded over 50 years ago in 1971 by Walter Delibori and Giorgio Cristoforetti, Vigneti Villabella is the agricultural estate of the Cristoforetti and Delibori group. Located in Calmasino, in the province of Verona, it lies in the heart of the Bardolino Classico region on the morainic hills overlooking Lake Garda.

This winery brings out the finest qualities of the land, crafting unique, authentic wines in a responsible, ethical context that balances people, landscape, and nature. It is a tradition that has adapted and evolved over time, continuously seeking improvement to create wines that embody the character of their origins.

Today, the legacy of tradition and the foresight to invest in the future is carried on by Walter and Giorgio's children. Tiziano Delibori oversees wine production, originally with quality control support from his son Umberto, who has sadly passed away, while Tiziano’s daughter Lorenza serves as Maître de Maison. Franco Cristoforetti leads the commercial side, with his sister Angela managing administration.

Vigneti Villabella produces all of Verona’s great classic wines with protected designation of origin, such as Bardolino, Chiaretto, Valpolicella, Ripasso, Amarone, Lugana, Custoza, Soave, and Garda.

The heart of the Vigneti Villabella estate is Villa Cordevigo in Cavaion Veronese, located inland from Lake Garda. This lush, organic oasis spans a hundred hectares, encompassing vineyards, olive groves, cypress forests, and spring waters, all preserved to protect the area’s soul and biodiversity.

At the center of the estate stands Villa Cordevigo, an 18th-century historic residence now dedicated to hospitality and promoting the region's wines. The restoration and preservation of Villa Cordevigo represent the culmination of a visionary project by both families to enhance the region and protect the environment and the community that lives there.
