Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
An excellent year. A cool summer, then a warm, breezy September that ripened the grapes well.
A cool, damp summer, then a warm, breezy September that finished the ripening well.
The winter was warm and dry; cold and rain returned from early April to mid May. July and August were cooler than average with frequent rain, and one hailstorm hit a small area high in the hills. Downy mildew was a challenge, above all around 10 June after four days of rain. September turned fine, with warmth and good ventilation keeping humidity low, and picking for the drying grapes began at the usual time. Fruit set was abundant in every variety.

Villa Rinaldi – A Unique Italian Maison de Négoce
Villa Rinaldi has been shaping its identity since the late 19th century, when Marcello Rinaldi laid the foundation for a winery deeply rooted in tradition. Over the decades, the family remained at the helm, refining its approach to both sparkling wines and great Valpolicella reds. A defining moment came in the 1960s when Rinaldo Rinaldi transformed the winery into an Italian Maison de Négoce, focusing on select Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Trentino Alto Adige and reviving historic winemaking methods.
A Vision of Excellence
Villa Rinaldi has long stood out for its dedication to Classic Method sparkling wines, refining techniques such as dégorgement à la volée and extended aging in French oak barriques. The winery introduced Barricaia Brut in 1986, setting a new benchmark for barrel-aged sparkling wines. It later pushed boundaries with Barricaia Noir, a red sparkling wine blending Corvina and Pinot Noir, an unconventional yet masterful creation.
The portfolio also includes Recioto della Valpolicella Metodo Classico, a rare interpretation of a historic style that reflects Verona’s deepest winemaking traditions. Over the years, Villa Rinaldi has gained recognition through international awards, including multiple gold medals at Vinitaly and prestigious titles such as Best Classic Method Sparkling Wine at Challenge Euposia.
A Style Like No Other
What defines Villa Rinaldi is a bold, independent approach to winemaking. The focus remains on carefully selected grape varieties, long aging, and methods that require precision and patience. Every bottle carries the imprint of this philosophy, where elegance, structure, and longevity come together.
