The vineyards extend across the slopes of the valley, benefiting from full sun exposure throughout the day and conditions that favour a gradual and balanced ripening of the grapes. The training system remains the traditional Veronese pergola, a method that protects the fruit and reflects a long-established local practice. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Work in the vineyard is carried out by hand, from pruning through to harvest, with careful selection taking place directly among the rows. Once picked, the grapes destined for Amarone follow the natural drying process in dedicated rooms, concentrating aromas and structure before fermentation. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

The range follows the classic path of the denomination, including Valpolicella Classico, Ripasso, Amarone and Recioto, alongside smaller productions that reflect the same attention to detail and connection to the territory. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
