Valpolicella, a youthful, no-nonsense wine, like the grapes it’s made from. We just wanted to let you taste our grapes the way they are: no drying, no wood-ageing, no filtration…. Grapes and nothing else.
VALPOLICELLA: a wine for everybody and for every occasion.

A bright ruby red in colour, with purplish nuances. It displays aromas of strawberries and cherries, along with raspberry notes. The red fruits on the palate satisfy one’s expectations from the nose. Its tangy yet mellow style makes this an attractive wine, suitable for any occasion.
Our Valpolicella Superiore is a constant challenge for us: we want to obtain a wine that can make our aromas and our tradition travel through time… our finest grapes with a short period of drying to make them stronger and make a wine that is suitable for long ageing, first in wood and then in bottle.
DOC Valpolicella Classico Superiore Biologico (Organic)
2018
Family-owned; cultivated using organic methods.
The village of Gargagnago, Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella (Verona).
Mainly limestone
5% Oseleta, 40% Corvinone, 40% Corvina and 5% Rondinella
The red grapes are picked by hand, selected in the vineyard and then left to dry for a month in wooden crates. After pressing, they are cold-macerated, before the fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. A warm maceration follows in order to extract all the aromas of the Oseleta, a top-quality native variety of our zone. The wine is left to rest for at least 12 months in French oak barrels, before being bottled without filtration. It then carries on maturing in bottle.
Indigenous local yeasts.
None.
Less than 40 mg/l.
14% vol.
A richly structured wine; ideal with red meats or game, which enhance its flavour.
18° C (64°F)
A deep ruby red in colour, with purple nuances; the nose recalls fruits of that hue: plums, blackberries and blackcurrants. Similar sensations re-emerge on the palate and its tannins give it good length.
The iconic wine of its region of origin…. Power and elegance unite, to reveal unforgettable sensations. Production is limited: we only select and use our very best grapes, and we dry them in small wooden crates, in line with tradition. Concentration and long maturation, so that you can savour the finest nuances of our area.

Ruby red in colour, with garnet reflections. On the nose, prunes and cherries envelop aromas of spices and chocolate. The palate echoes the sensations on the nose, wrapped in tannins that add length to the finish.
Red grapes have always been the best for our area, history tells us so… But we wanted a white wine, our white wine, made from our grapes, grown and picked by us… And here it is!!!

Straw yellow in colour, with lime green highlights. Fresh citrus fruits and wild flowers on the nose. Dry, mineral and tangy on the palate. Touch of tannin on the finish, with an echo of the citrusy aromas and crusty bread.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, just two grapes. Small production and a desire to take up the challenge of these varieties that people call “international”. A brief period of drying to make them even more ours, and that’s it… A red wine that is naturally tough, forthright, candid, “RUDE” (“gruff” in Italian)…
