Selva Capuzza is located four kilometres south of Lake Garda and it sits in the heart of the three main DOC areas; Lugana, Garda Classico and San Martino della Battaglia. The 35 hectare farm is owned and managed by Luca Formentini and today produces some of the most captivating white and red wines on the Brescia side of Lake Garda.

At the heart of Selva Capuzza’s ethos lies an unwavering dedication to sustainability, exemplified by a comprehensive philosophy that places utmost emphasis on environmental integrity. Rejecting the use of herbicides, the estate nurtures a sanctuary where nature flourishes, with expansive grass pathways and meticulously preserved nature corridors that foster biodiversity. Employing solely natural treatments, safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem, cherishing the woodlands, ponds, and indigenous flora. Water conservation is also paramount, with the winery diligently minimising wastage. Their commitment doesn’t stop there, from the vineyards and winery, through to their decisions on packaging, utilising recycled materials where possible, and lightweight glass, each aspect is carefully considered.

Selva Capuzza may not hold formal organic certification, but their farming is rooted firmly in organic principles. Their long‑standing commitment to environmental stewardship is reflected in the sustainability credentials they do hold — SQNPI and Equalitas — both of which recognise their dedicated, responsible approach. A genuinely sustainable choice for anyone wishing to explore the beauty and character of Lake Garda’s terroir.
