Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A very good year. A dry spring, then a very rainy summer; quality varied from area to area.
An uneven year: dry until flowering, then very wet, with a harvest that varied from area to area.
January to May was drier and slightly warmer than usual. June to August brought 575 mm of rain at San Pietro in Cariano and 461 mm at Illasi, against about 230 mm in a normal year, with some hail in June and August. Downy mildew pressed hard after the rains, luckily once fruit set was over; later, botrytis and rot needed care, helped by the September weather. Picking began around 13 September.

Craftsmanship Details
This wine is crafted from an exclusive blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Croatina grapes, following a meticulous selection process. Through controlled yields achieved by precise bud selection in spring and thinning practices in August, only the best grapes are selected for harvest. Each grape is carefully handpicked and subjected to a drying process lasting 40/50 days, followed by two years of aging in barrique—30% of which involves new barrels—and an additional year of bottle aging.

Corte Canella takes shape in Cellore, a village east of Verona. Long devoted to growing grapes, the family began making wine in 2009 when Francesco decided to reshape his life. Together with his wife Adriana, he established the winery, and their daughter Gloria soon added her own vision to the project.
Their vineyards lie on the hills of Val d’Illasi, about 200 meters above sea level, where stony alluvial soils favour viticulture. All grapes are selected by hand, then partially dried for two to four months (appassimento) before vinification. Gentle pressing preserves the natural character of each variety, with modern systems managing fermentation to highlight aroma and flavour.
Wood is applied thoughtfully, never dominating the fruit. In keeping with local tradition, 225-liter barriques are used to produce wines known for an energetic and bold personality. Each bottle celebrates the path from vine to finished wine and sets the stage for fresh possibilities.
The winery’s label features “Ampelio”, a figure carrying a basket of grapes whose shadow is shaped like a bottle. This image sums up the family’s approach: carefully tending their own vines, guiding each cluster, and turning it into something that leaves a memorable mark. Their aim is to create wines with an exuberant spirit, always ready to surprise.
