From the vintage reports of the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella
A changeable year that ended well: a dry September gave healthy grapes.
A changeable season with late flowering and a dry September that gave healthy grapes.
March was very dry; April and May brought about 210 mm, close to normal, and June almost none. July to September had about 200 mm, some 50 mm below the average. Flowering came about ten days late and veraison about nine days late. Downy mildew needed precise work in May and June, and powdery mildew caused modest damage in a few sensitive spots. Dry weather in September kept botrytis away, and picking began around 15 September.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico “Acinatico” 2021 by Accordini Stefano
Amarone della Valpolicella Docg Classico “Acinatico,” a creation of Accordini Stefano, originates from the high hills of Valpolicella. This red wine is celebrated for its significant structure, elegant complexity, and a warm, spicy bouquet, enriched with raisin fruit flavors. Its production involves an intricate process of grape drying and extended aging in barrels.
Oenological Practice:
The grapes for Amarone Acinatico are meticulously handpicked in September. Post-harvest, they are placed in trunks and left to rest in a specialized fruit-room. During this drying period, a series of biochemical processes, including the action of Botrytis Nobile, partially convert sugars into glycerine, enhancing the wine’s smoothness and body. The crushed grapes then undergo maceration and fermentation, contributing to the wine’s structured and aromatic profile. A two-year aging period in oak barrels further imparts a unique personality to the Amarone Acinatico.
Tasting Notes:
Amarone Acinatico is distinguished by its intense red ruby color with garnet shades. It features an elegant bouquet, blending black cherry, mature fruits, and spices. The wine’s profile strikes a balance between remarkable structure and complexity, and a smooth, elegant finish.
Food Pairings:
This wine is a perfect companion for game, grilled meats, roasted dishes, and aged cheeses, aligning well with traditional culinary choices.
Grape Varieties:
A blend of Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes contributes to the distinctive taste and aroma of Amarone Acinatico.
Serving Temperature:
To fully savor its characteristics, it is suggested to serve Amarone Acinatico at a temperature of 18°C.
Alcohol Content:
This wine has an alcohol volume of 16%.
Availability:
Amarone Acinatico represents an excellent choice for those who appreciate finely crafted Italian wines. Its blend of traditional winemaking techniques and distinctive flavor profile makes it a noteworthy addition to any wine collection.

Accordini Stefano: Family Tradition and High-Altitude Viticulture in Valpolicella Classica:
Accordini Stefano is a family-run winery in Valpolicella Classica, shaped by a long-standing commitment to quality and forward-thinking choices. Tiziano and Daniele saw the potential for growth and took steps to modernize production, refining vinification techniques, planting new vineyards, and updating the cellar while expanding into international markets.
A turning point came with the decision to move production to the high-altitude vineyards of Cavalo in the Fumane Valley at 550 meters above sea level. This choice brought new opportunities, allowing for wines with deeper structure, refined aromas, and natural freshness. The project was driven by Tiziano’s expertise in commerce and Daniele’s enological knowledge, supported by their wives, Eleonora and Raffaella, and the next generation, Giacomo, Paolo, and Marco, who continue to build on the winery’s progress.
High-Altitude Viticulture
Today, Accordini Stefano cultivates 25 hectares of vineyards at some of the highest elevations in Valpolicella Classica. The cooler climate and significant temperature shifts between day and night bring out layers of complexity in the wines, helping to shape their structure and aromatic depth. The family follows organic farming practices, ensuring that both sustainability and quality remain at the forefront of their work.
The estate is home to several vineyard sites, each offering distinct characteristics:
- Il Fornetto (planted in 1975) grows Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara in deep, clay-rich soil, where old vines produce balanced and concentrated fruit.
- Tornidora, at 500 meters, features a mix of Corvina, Corvinone, and Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in limestone-rich soil that adds depth to the wines.
- Chiesa Vecchia, at 600 meters, produces Valpolicella Classico, with grapes that develop strong aromatics and natural freshness due to the altitude.
- Monte, located near Lake Garda, benefits from cooling winds, bringing structure and complexity to Corvina, Corvinone, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
- La Cà, near the winery’s agritourism property, grows traditional Valpolicella varieties in skeletal, clay-based soil, ensuring deep-rooted vines with excellent fruit concentration.
With a focus on organic viticulture and energy-efficient practices, including a solar-powered agritourism facility, the Accordini family continues to refine their approach, producing wines that reflect the characteristics of their land while maintaining a balance between tradition and modern techniques.
