Amarone and Valpolicella wines by DianaDes
DianaDes is a contemporary wine project created by Diana, a professional sommelier and restaurateur whose background is rooted in daily contact with international wine lovers. Years spent working on the restaurant floor shaped a clear vision: wines that are precise, expressive and easy to read, built with respect for place and made to be shared at the table.
The project took form through a close collaboration with Valpolicella enologist Daniele Cagliari, starting in 2016. Together they developed a range of wines that stay true to the Veneto while speaking a modern language, focusing on balance, clarity of fruit and consistency. Production is based on long term partnerships with selected growers and cellars, allowing full control over vineyard practices, drying processes and aging choices.
The DianaDes portfolio spans Valpolicella and Soave, from fresh and direct whites to structured reds including Valpolicella Ripasso and Amarone. Each wine is shaped with the same guiding idea: precision without heaviness, structure without excess, and a style that remains enjoyable throughout the glass.
The visual identity of DianaDes is inspired by the Roman goddess Diana, a symbol of strength, nature and independence, interpreted through artwork by Italian sculptor Girolamo Ciulla. This imagery mirrors the project’s character, combining cultural references with a clean, contemporary approach.
Based in the hills around Verona, DianaDes expresses the limestone soils and traditional grape varieties of the area through wines designed for both attentive tasting and relaxed moments at the table.
