Vintage 2022
From the vintage reports of the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella
A hot, dry year. Drought tested the vines, but rain in August helped them recover.
Hot, dry and early: the year of drought, managed through careful work on water.
From January to July only 190 mm of rain fell against an average of 450, a deficit of 60%, and May to July were hot. Young vines and vines on light soils suffered water stress, but rain in August helped most of them recover. Veraison came in late July, about two weeks early, and picking began around 5 September. Disease pressure stayed low; local hail fell in August and September.

The Aldrighetti family has cultivated the hills of Valpolicella Classica since 1818. Generations of growers have preserved both tradition and a passion for winemaking, steadily expanding their holdings to today’s nine hectares of vines in the valleys of Marano di Valpolicella, Negrar, and San Pietro in Cariano. The estate’s roots trace back to the “Bignele” area near the village of Valgatara, where the family began raising grapes along with other crops.
Over the centuries, the Aldrighettis have refined methods that balance time-honored practices with modern techniques. Father Luigi and uncle Angelo serve as the pillars of the winery, overseeing vineyard work, the delicate processes in the cellar, and quality control at every stage. Siblings Nicola, Silvia, and Cecilia now continue the tradition, dividing responsibilities in the vineyard, cellar, and direct customer relations. They also manage bottling, labeling, tastings, and the estate’s lodging.
Each year, the family unites for harvest, carefully selecting fruit for the creation of classic Valpolicella wines. In addition to their vineyards, they maintain cherry trees that bloom romantically in spring and provide sweet fruit in summer, yielding jams and nectars available both at the winery and in their guest accommodation. Visitors are welcome to explore the property, discover the wines, and share in the Aldrighetti family’s long-standing connection to the land and its gifts.
