The name Conti D’Arco comes from the noble family owner of the medieval castle, that from the Cliff of Arco dominates the vineyards of the beautiful valley between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites. The Italian Wine Group has purchased the property with the Conti D’Arco brand, with its long history, and has established a production agreement with Cantina Sociale Mezzacorona, actually one of the most interesting wine producing areas of Trentino.
Between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, the D’Arco castle overlooks the valley from the top of a high cliff. The hills that stretch in this area were chosen for the selection of precious vines already at the time of the Austro –Hungarian Empire. The story was the one of the noble family of Conti D’Arco. The names of Odorico, Vinciguerra, Prospero, Andrea D’Arco, are tied in the ages to events that touch the legend. Always close to other famous families, such as Gonzaga, and often counselors of Emperors, many of the Counts D’Arco were cultured and refined gentlemen; Nicolò was a poet and humanist, Giorgio lover of music and friend of Mozart. In the splendid castle and in the Renaissance buildings of the village, the deep and cool cellars called "Caneve" never missed, in which to store the excellent wine harvested with the tithes of the county.
