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.
“Zeus” Rosso Veneto Igt by DianaDes
Zeus Rosso Veneto IGT by DianaDes comes from Mezzane di Sotto, in the eastern hills of Valpolicella, near Verona. The vineyards lie at around 400 meters above sea level on calcareous soils, an area well suited to producing structured yet balanced reds with strong varietal definition.
This wine is made exclusively from Corvinone, sourced from a single vineyard and trained using the Guyot system, with a density of about 5,000 vines per hectare. After hand harvesting, the grapes are left to dry in small crates for approximately forty days, concentrating flavor and texture while preserving freshness.
Fermentation is followed by a long aging period: thirty six months in oak barrels, using second and third passage barriques, and a further twelve months of bottle aging. This approach allows the wine to develop complexity and depth without overwhelming the natural character of Corvinone.
On the nose, Zeus is intense, with aromas of red fruit and spice. The palate is defined by cherry and sour cherry, supported by firm but well integrated tannins. The structure is balanced, with notable persistence and a long, savory finish.
It pairs well with red meats, braised dishes, duck, pheasant, and furred game.

DianaDes is a contemporary wine project created by Diana, a professional sommelier and restaurateur whose background is rooted in daily contact with international wine lovers. Years spent working on the restaurant floor shaped a clear vision: wines that are precise, expressive and easy to read, built with respect for place and made to be shared at the table.
The project took form through a close collaboration with Valpolicella enologist Daniele Cagliari, starting in 2016. Together they developed a range of wines that stay true to the Veneto while speaking a modern language, focusing on balance, clarity of fruit and consistency. Production is based on long term partnerships with selected growers and cellars, allowing full control over vineyard practices, drying processes and aging choices.
The DianaDes portfolio spans Valpolicella and Soave, from fresh and direct whites to structured reds including Valpolicella Ripasso and Amarone. Each wine is shaped with the same guiding idea: precision without heaviness, structure without excess, and a style that remains enjoyable throughout the glass.
The visual identity of DianaDes is inspired by the Roman goddess Diana, a symbol of strength, nature and independence, interpreted through artwork by Italian sculptor Girolamo Ciulla. This imagery mirrors the project’s character, combining cultural references with a clean, contemporary approach.
Based in the hills around Verona, DianaDes expresses the limestone soils and traditional grape varieties of the area through wines designed for both attentive tasting and relaxed moments at the table.
