A very good year. Hot and dry, with an early harvest of sweet, deeply coloured grapes.
A hot, dry year with an early harvest and grapes rich in sugar and colour.
Little rain fell from the winter onward. Late frost in April damaged a small area near San Martino Buon Albergo. June to August were hot, at times with drought and some sunburn in mid June. Hail in late August and early September, mostly in Valpantena and the east, hurt quality rather than quantity. Corvina was picked in the first week of September, about ten days earlier than in 2016, with high sugar, low malic acid and very good colour potential. The heat kept most diseases away.
This wine is sold out. Answer three questions and we pick six that are on the shelf today.

The Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Classico by Monte dei Ragni is obtained from a careful selection of Valpolicella grapes placed in trays and pressed in late November, then passed over the marc of dried grapes. The wine is refermented and aged in barrels. The production area is located in Marega in the municipality of Fumane in Valpolicella.
It is a hilly area, from 220 to 430 meters. s.l.m. full south-east exposure on limestone soils with a lot of skeleton. The sixth planted and trained is in Pergola Trentino, with 5600 vines / ha and a budding load of 33000-36000 / ha, remembering that in the corvina the first three buds generally do not bear fruit. Average age of the vineyard 25 years. The grapes are harvested in trays and placed under air porches for the first phase of pre-drying, followed by a soft pressing and fermented in steel containers at a controlled temperature.
The wine obtained is then re-fermented on the amarone pomace that is not completely exhausted. Refinement is done partly in tonneaux and partly in steel in varying proportions depending on the vintage.

The small winery Monte dei Ragni was born from the long winemaking tradition of the Ragno family, active for five generations, and from Zeno Zignoli’s ability to turn a small artisanal wine production into an authentic gem of Valpolicella. Today, Monte dei Ragni has become a cult name for enthusiasts and for anyone seeking wines that express territory, nature, and time, without compromising with market logic or conventional practices.
Monte dei Ragni takes its name from a notation found in a nineteenth-century land registry, which identified a small piece of land on a ridge in the municipality of Fumane, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. It consists of just 8 hectares of land, of which only a little over 2 hectares are planted with vines. Zeno Zignoli cultivates them with determination and deep love for the land, avoiding all synthetic chemical interventions and preserving the region’s biodiversity: olive trees, grains, fruit trees, and vegetables grow among the vines. In addition Zeno, works the land with the help of a horse and opposes herbicide use, considered deplorable, by practicing the “care of grass,” which includes green manure crops composed of over 36 different species.
The wines of Monte dei Ragni are produced in very small quantities and exhibit a quality, sense of place, and expressiveness that leave one speechless. For Zeno, only the cultivation of the land and culture make a man truly free, and his wines are the result of a life philosophy that primarily seeks to preserve the integrity, balance, and beauty of the land.
