The origins of the estate trace back to 1930, when the first vineyards were established by the family in the area known as “Casetta”. Over time, the work has passed through generations, evolving gradually while maintaining a strong link to its origins and to the rhythm of the land. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The present identity of the winery reflects this continuity, bringing together the experience of past generations with the more recent work of Gabriele, who now oversees production following studies in oenology and experience in other regions. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The vineyards are cultivated using the traditional pergola system, which helps protect the grapes and preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. The soils vary significantly with altitude, shifting from clay to limestone and then to paleovolcanic rock, giving different layers of structure and expression to the wines. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

The grape varieties include the classic Valpolicella grapes such as Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, alongside lesser-known native varieties that contribute to complexity and balance. Vineyard work follows a careful and non-forcing approach, allowing each vintage to express its natural character.

Production spans the traditional wines of the denomination, from Valpolicella Classico and Ripasso to Amarone and Recioto, alongside smaller interpretations linked to specific vineyard expressions. Across the range, the focus remains on elegance, freshness and drinkability rather than weight and extraction. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Today, Vigneti di Ettore presents a clear interpretation of Valpolicella Classica, shaped by family continuity, attention to detail and a measured approach that allows the character of the land to emerge naturally.
