Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A very good year. A dry spring, then a very rainy summer; quality varied from area to area.
An uneven year: dry until flowering, then very wet, with a harvest that varied from area to area.
January to May was drier and slightly warmer than usual. June to August brought 575 mm of rain at San Pietro in Cariano and 461 mm at Illasi, against about 230 mm in a normal year, with some hail in June and August. Downy mildew pressed hard after the rains, luckily once fruit set was over; later, botrytis and rot needed care, helped by the September weather. Picking began around 13 September.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 2020 by Monte Santoccio
Originating from the picturesque Valpolicella Classica region in Fumane, our Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG by Monte Santoccio is a true embodiment of Italian winemaking excellence. Crafted with meticulous care and dedication, this exceptional wine is a blend of Corvina (40%), Corvinone (30%), Rondinella (25%), and Molinara (5%) grapes, culminating in a captivating 16% alcohol by volume.
The journey of this wine begins with hand-picked grapes, delicately sorted and placed in small crates. These crates find their place in our fruit drying room, where they patiently await until mid-January. The fermentation process unfolds in two distinct phases: first, a 20-day cold pre-maceration, followed by a 30-day alcoholic fermentation. This meticulous approach sets the stage for greatness.
Aging is a crucial aspect of our winemaking process, with this Amarone spending approximately 30 months in French and American oak tonneaux barrels, each with a capacity of 500 liters. The result is a wine of profound character.
In the glass, our Amarone displays a deep ruby red hue with garnet reflections. Its bouquet is expansive, offering enchanting notes of wild berries, cherry jam, dried plums, and hints of balsamic complexity, all underscored by remarkable persistence. It’s majestic without being overpowering, with fragrant aromatic nuances and a subtly spicy finish.
Pairing perfectly with robust dishes, this Amarone excels alongside important roasts, red meat braises, game, horse meat, lamb, veal, rabbit, wild boar, and aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano and Monte Veronese. For a truly authentic experience, savor it with traditional dishes like risotto all’Amarone.
Indulge in the unparalleled quality of Italian winemaking with Monte Santoccio’s Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG. It’s a wine that tells a story of passion, tradition, and the timeless beauty of the Valpolicella Classica.

Nicola Ferrari is carrying forward a vision of winemaking where oversight of every step – from vine to cellar – ensures both quality and reputation. After spending years as cellarman under the legendary Bepi Quintarelli, Nicola established Monte Santoccio in Fumane, at the heart of Valpolicella Classica. Together with his wife Laura, he tends about three hectares of vineyards on the scenic Monte Santoccio hill, growing the region’s native varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone, Molinara, and Rondinella.
Each vintage relies exclusively on grapes from these estate vineyards, with annual production around 14,000 bottles. The wines, shaped by rigorous vineyard care and a focus on the land’s unique qualities, reflect an authentic expression of Valpolicella. Nicola’s meticulous approach stems from a deep knowledge of the local terroir – from soil studies and environmental conditions to carefully selecting vines and nurturing the most prized clusters. The result is a line of wines that celebrates both tradition and a clear, direct connection to this historic region.
