Agraria Riva del Garda

What Agraria Riva del Garda does

Agraria Riva del Garda s.c.a. is an agricultural cooperative founded in 1926 in Riva del Garda, Trentino, Italy, that produces and markets wine and extra-virgin olive oil from the Alto Garda territory. It operates two production units: the Cantina (winery, founded 1957) processing on average 33,000 quintals of grapes annually from 280 member winegrowers, and the Frantoio (olive mill, founded 1965) processing 6,000-8,500 quintals of olives from ~1,200 farmers across 85,000 controlled trees on 270 hectares, representing approximately 65% of Garda Trentino olive-oil production. The portfolio spans multiple branded lines (Le Selezioni, Vista Lago, Collezione Apponale, Brezza Riva Trentodoc, Bollicine di Riva on the wine side; Uliva DOP, 46° Parallelo, Ulidea, Imperiale, Linea 1926, Italico on the oil side) plus HORECA services, the Store Rurale retail location, an e-commerce site, tasting and sommelier courses, and events such as Frantoi Aperti and the Trentodoc Festival.

The business is technically underpinned by the ULIVA GIS and PICA cartographic platforms (developed with Fondazione Edmund Mach, AIPO Verona, and Cavit), which consolidate plot-level pedological and microclimatic data to drive precision agriculture; a zero-waste olive-processing line that monetizes sansa, pits, vegetation water and polyphenol concentrate; and an extended ISO 22005 supply-chain traceability certification (valid until 2028) covering all wines and oils across bottles, bag-in-box, kegs and cans. R&D includes novel processes such as the Brezza Riva Silente underwater-aging experiment at ~40 meters in Lake Garda.

Revenue is generated primarily through physical-goods sales (wine and olive oil) distributed via direct retail at Store Rurale, D2C e-commerce, HORECA field sales, GDO wholesale (bottles, bag-in-box, casks, bulk), and export, supplemented by member-grower service fees, paid tastings and courses (€35/person with a 10% Agririva Club discount), and premium/limited-edition SKUs (e.g., Uliva 1111, only 1,111 numbered bottles). The company serves HORECA professionals, retail/GDO buyers, individual consumers and tourists, with no disclosed parent company, no external institutional investors, and no public listing.

Product overview

Agraria Riva del Garda is an agricultural cooperative (circa 300 winegrower members and 80 olive grower members) producing wine and extra virgin olive oil from the Garda Trentino territory since 1926. The product portfolio consists of two core categories: wine (Cantina) and olive oil (Frantoio), organized across multiple branded lines. Wine offerings span four main lines — Le Selezioni (premium single-vineyard wines: Maso Élesi Pinot Nero, Maso Lizzone Cabernet Sauvignon, crÉa Merlot, Dòs de Nòa Sauvignon, lorÉ Chardonnay, rena late harvest), Vista Lago (territorial wines: Gère, Lagrein, Riva'ldego Teroldego, Merlot, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Müller Thurgau, Schiava), Collezione Apponale (DOC wines with historic Riva del Garda label), and Brezza Riva (Trentodoc Metodo Classico sparklings including Silente, Riserva Pas Dosé, Rosé, Brut, Millesimato). The Bollicine di Riva line covers Charmat-method sparklings. Olive oil is organized around Uliva (DOP Garda Trentino flagship, including the limited-edition Uliva 1111 in 1,111 numbered bottles), 46° Parallelo (Monovarietale, Biologico, Blend variants), Ulidea Vegan Biologico (dried black olive dressing), plus Imperiale, Linea 1926, Italico, and Special Edition lines. The cooperative operates a Rural Store (Store Rurale) for direct sales and provides HORECA/Retail distribution. Additional services include tastings, wine and oil courses, and event hosting. The company is structured as a cooperative with no single unified software platform — products are physical goods sold through physical and online retail channels.
