Vintage 2019
Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
An excellent year. A cold, wet spring, then a hot summer and a harvest right on time.
A cold, wet spring and a hot summer, with a harvest close to the average date.
After a warm, dry March, April and May were the coldest and wettest in 30 years. The summer was very hot, with heat waves at the end of June, peaking at 38°C, and at the end of July, plus some local hail. The spring rain carried the vines through a dry June. Veraison came late, ending in the last week of August; then good swings between day and night brought sound ripening and picking from mid September, a week later than in 2018. A quiet year for vine disease.
Valpolicella DOC Superiore “Campo Prognai” 2019 by Ilatium
Ilatium’s less beefy expression of Valpolicella passito, with grapes undergoing appassimento for less than for an Amarone.
Winemaking: grapes hand-harvested, then made to undergo appassimento for 30 days. They are then cryomacerated for 60 hours prior to fermentation, during which the wine is pumped over regularly (for around 15 days). Finally the wine is finished in French oak tonneaux (350 litres) for 15 months.
Assemblage: corvina and corvinone 70%, rondinella 20%, croatina and others 10%.
Soil: clayey-calcareous
Alcohol: 14%
Colour: an intense, semi-translucent ruby.
Aroma: complex but definitely fruit-forward, notes of cherry and blackberry tinged with pepper and cigar box.
Palate: drying tannins, but nonetheless very soft and drinkable.
Ageability: to be drunk over the next five years.
Pairing: its full-weight but superior acidity and freshness make this an ideal match for tomato-based ragù.

Ilatium Morini stands in Val di Mezzane, surrounded by vineyards and an early 1900s farmhouse that inspired Luigi and Giuseppe Morini in 1980. Their plan was simple: combine their lands and nurture grapes once sent to the local cooperative. Over time, seven Morini siblings and cousins joined, blending modern ideas with the family’s longstanding methods.
In 1992, more vineyards were added near the farmhouse, pointing the way to the official start of Ilatium Morini in 2001. Two years later, the first wine label was produced, with the original bottle still kept in the family archive. When the founders outgrew their first location, a new, contemporary facility was established in 2006, with further expansion in 2020 after restoring the farmhouse to include a Wine Shop and tasting rooms.
Harvesting still follows a hands-on approach, ensuring careful grape selection from drying to pressing and through fermentation. Various oak barrel sizes highlight each wine’s layers of flavour, including unexpected nuances. The estate includes La Calle, Sottomonte, Forade, Ai Progni, Leòn, Mezzane ai Monti, Grezzana, and l’Olivara, each site contributing distinct qualities. This mix of tradition and forward thinking defines Ilatium Morini, carrying on the family’s drive for authentic Verona winemaking.
