Stars from the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella, for Amarone della Valpolicella
An excellent year. A cool summer, then a warm, breezy September that ripened the grapes well.
A cool, damp summer, then a warm, breezy September that finished the ripening well.
The winter was warm and dry; cold and rain returned from early April to mid May. July and August were cooler than average with frequent rain, and one hailstorm hit a small area high in the hills. Downy mildew was a challenge, above all around 10 June after four days of rain. September turned fine, with warmth and good ventilation keeping humidity low, and picking for the drying grapes began at the usual time. Fruit set was abundant in every variety.
Valpolicella Superiore DOC “Terre del Cereolo” 2016 by Trabucchi d’Illasi
This Valpolicella Superiore presents a rich and harmonious profile, with aromas of ripe redcurrants, raspberries, clove, anise, licorice, aromatic herbs, and a hint of vanilla. Its ruby-red hue reflects its depth, while the palate reveals a gentle balance of fruit, spice, and freshness, leading to a long and elegant finish.
Tasting Notes
A refined combination of vibrant fruit and delicate spice, this wine is structured yet approachable, with a well-balanced finish that leaves a pleasant impression.
Food Pairing
Perfect with sliced beef tagliata with rosemary and balsamic reduction, enhancing the dish’s savory and aromatic notes.
Winemaking
Produced through a short drying of the grapes and aged in French barriques for 10–15 months, this wine achieves depth and complexity without the use of Amarone pomace, distinguishing it clearly from Ripasso styles.

Das Weingut wurde 1925 gegründet und erstreckt sich über die Gebiete von Valpolicella und Soave am Monte Tenda. Für Giuseppe Trabucchi, der überzeugt ist, dass Wein die Geschichte seines Ursprungsortes im Illasi-Tal erzählen muss, stehen Boden, Klima und Lage im Mittelpunkt. Der moränische, steinige Untergrund sorgt für eine hervorragende Drainage, während die Brisen aus den Hügeln gesunde Reben fördern und beim Trocknen der Trauben helfen.
Die Weinberge liegen in verstreuten Parzellen rund um das Tal und die Villa, wobei jede Lage ihre eigenen, besonderen Qualitäten beiträgt. Der Anbau erfolgt im Guyot-System, komplett ohne Herbizide, und im Frühjahr wird organisch gedüngt. Seit 1993 ist das Weingut bio-zertifiziert. Die Anlage verbindet eine moderne Struktur mit einem architektonisch bemerkenswerten Gesamtkonzept über drei Gebäude: eines stammt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, eines aus den 1990er Jahren und ein unterirdischer Anbau aus dem Jahr 2003, der durch einen Tunnel mit dem historischen Keller verbunden ist.
Die Trauben werden auf Gestellen in gut belüfteten Räumen getrocknet, um Schimmelbildung zu vermeiden. Die daraus gewonnenen Weine reifen zunächst in Barriques und anschließend in großen Eichenfässern. Der Amarone della Valpolicella ist ein Herzstück des Sortiments: Er entsteht durch eine verlängerte Trocknung der Trauben und eine langsame Gärung, die konzentrierte Aromen hervorbringt. Im gesamten Portfolio finden sich Rotweine mit intensiver Farbe und ausgeprägter Frucht, abgerundet durch ein elegantes Profil, das den Charakter des Illasi-Tals widerspiegelt.
