Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
A difficult year. A cool, very rainy summer; a dry September helped at the end.
A cool, very wet summer made this one of the more challenging years. Warmer, drier September weather brought some recovery, but the Consorzio gives the vintage only two stars.
The regional report records over 250 mm of July rain. Persistent moisture and low summer temperatures complicated ripening; improved September weather helped the grapes recover before harvest, without fully reversing the difficult season. The year had started more promisingly, with flowering around ten days early. Summer cloud cover then reduced sunlight and extended the growing cycle. Harvest began on September 19. The Consorzio records annual rainfall above 1,500 mm, including roughly 860 mm during the growing period, making grape health a central concern throughout the season.

Nestled in the heart of the Mezzane Valley, Le Guaite di Noemi is a testament to generations of dedication to the land. Since the 1960s, the Pizzighella family has nurtured this unique corner of eastern Valpolicella, transforming it from humble beginnings to a thriving winery. Initially cultivated by Carlo and Lina, the land transitioned to their son Stefano in 1984, who expanded the vineyards and embraced innovative techniques, recognizing the potential of the valley's distinct terroir.
The pivotal purchase of land on Le Guaite hill in 1990, by Stefano and Giulietta, marked the true birth of the winery, a ‘place of observation’ where the family would craft their iconic Valpolicella, Amarone, and Recioto. Giulietta officially established the winery in 2002, releasing their first vintage.
Today, their daughter, Noemi Pizzighella, born in 1994, carries on the family legacy, managing the estate as Le Guaite di Noemi, a name that honours her connection to the land and the wines her parents created.
Spanning vineyards rich in Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone, the winery embodies a blend of time-honoured practices and modern viticulture. The family’s commitment extends beyond grapes, with a dedicated oil mill established in 1997, showcasing their holistic approach to the land’s bounty. Each bottle reflects a deep understanding of the soil, a love for the region, and a family’s unwavering dedication to producing wines that tell the story of the Mezzane Valley.
