The story of the estate began in 1969, when Pietro Clementi established a small family winery, initially intended for personal production. Over time, what started as a private activity gradually evolved into a dedicated and focused project, while remaining firmly rooted in its original spirit. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The vineyards extend across around 14 hectares on the hills of Marano, between 300 and 400 metres above sea level, with favourable south and west exposures. The soils, relatively poor yet rich in minerals, combined with a mild climate protected by the Lessini mountains, create balanced conditions for the slow and steady ripening of the grapes. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Work in the vineyard follows the traditional pergola system, with a focus on the classic varieties of Valpolicella, including Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara and Oseleta. Production remains intentionally limited, allowing careful attention at every stage, from vine to bottle. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The wines follow the established path of the denomination, from Valpolicella Classico through to Ripasso and Amarone, all shaped by traditional methods and a measured approach to ageing. Today, Clementi continues to present a coherent and grounded interpretation of Valpolicella Classica, built on continuity, family involvement and a close relationship with the land.
