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 “Ruvaln” by Adalia
The “Ruvaln” Amarone della Valpolicella from Adalia winery is a full-bodied and structured interpretation, with great typicity. Located in the Mezzane Valley, an area east of the city of Verona dedicated to the cultivation of olives, cherries, chestnuts, and vines, this wine is a product of the rich and fertile environmental context that has favored a flourishing agriculture for centuries. The name “Ruvaln” derives from an ancient Cimbrian term that means “stream”, referring to the numerous streams that flow in the area.
Crafted from a blend of Corvina Veronese (40%), Corvinone (40%), and Rondinella (20%), grown at an altitude of 400 meters on medium-textured limestone soils, the “Ruvaln” Amarone undergoes a careful selection of grapes followed by a three-month drying process. After that, the grapes are destemmed, gently pressed, and left to ferment spontaneously in stainless steel tanks for four weeks with skin contact. The wine is then aged for about 24 months in oak barrels of 25 hectoliters.
The Adalia “Ruvaln” Amarone della Valpolicella has an intense and dark garnet-red color. The olfactory profile is characterized by enveloping and intoxicating aromas of dried fruit, sweet spices, balsamic notes, toasted tobacco, and coffee. The taste is austere, silky, robust, rich, and warm, with pleasant freshness and velvety tannins. The finish is extremely long with fruity and spicy notes.

Adalia – Inspired by Nature, Rooted in Val di Mezzane
Adalia takes its name from Adalia Bipunctata, a two-spotted ladybug that naturally helps control aphids. In a sunny, breezy area of Val di Mezzane, this five-hectare property cultivates a fresh and authentic style of winemaking. Traditional methods and nature-friendly techniques blend with modern ideas, creating an environment that encourages a natural path for the grapes, from vineyard to bottle.
For the team at Adalia, wine emerges rather than being artificially produced. Small, daily decisions guide each step, from soil preparation to bottling, and from the hand-selection of grapes at their perfect ripeness to spontaneous fermentation in conical oak vats. The use of only indigenous yeasts and minimal temperature control aims to preserve the character of every batch. All vines are organically farmed and hold Demeter certification, ensuring thoughtful approaches that respect the land.
Val di Mezzane lies east of Verona, rising from Vago di Lavagno toward Mezzane di Sotto. Alongside vineyards, the landscape features cherry, olive, and chestnut trees, with wooded slopes reaching up to the Lessini Mountains. The valley has been favored by humans for millennia, as shown by stone tools from the Middle Paleolithic era and Roman-era structures. Its past is also evident in the 12th-century bell tower of Mezzane di Sotto and in local churches such as Castagnè and Postuman. Historic residences, some with accompanying rural buildings, add to the region’s character.
In this historic setting, Adalia’s vineyards thrive under a special microclimate, shaped by the valley’s geography, fortifications like the Austrian fort atop San Briccio hill, and the soil enriched by streams. Across the centuries, this land has supported agricultural diversity and vibrant communities. Adalia’s commitment to natural processes and respectful farming produces wines that capture the hallmark qualities of Val di Mezzane.
