Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
An excellent year. A small, healthy harvest and ideal weather for drying the grapes, the key step in making Amarone.
Excellent quality with peaks of brilliance, and an exceptional year for the drying grapes.
Budbreak came ten days early. April frosts touched some valley floor sites, and a violent hailstorm on 4 July hit Negrar and San Pietro in Cariano, with losses above 50% in places. Little rain followed until after the harvest, which ran from 25 September to 20 October. Wide swings between day and night temperatures helped ripening, and a small crop kept the grapes healthy. Loose bunches and dry nights made it an exceptional year for drying.

Valentina and Giancarlo built their estate on ten hectares of prized Fumane hillsides, Monte Tenda, Monte Crosetta, and Rasso, first acquiring seven of them in 1969. Giancarlo’s family had farmed vines since the 1800s; Valentina brought a drive for organic practice that now defines every row. No herbicides or synthetic treatments touch the soil, and certification backs the farming philosophy they hope to pass on to coming generations.
The couple calls themselves wine craftsmen. All fruit comes from their own plots, clipped by hand and sorted bunch by bunch. Fermentations proceed with gentle handling, filling the cellar each autumn with scents of berries and blossoms. Before any bottle leaves the property, the family tastes and re-tastes, releasing each wine only when texture and balance meet their standard. Visitors are welcomed during harvest and throughout the year, a chance to share the season’s flavors and the quiet focus that guides their small, quality-centered operation in the heart of Valpolicella.
