Production and refinement

From the Marano vineyard, located between San Rocco and Camporal, at an altitude of 360 to 450 meters above sea level, on limestone soils over volcanic rocks. The vines are trained on old pergolas, situated on terraces built with dry stone walls (locally known as "marogne"). Harvesting is done manually, starting in mid-September.

The grapes are carefully selected during harvest, placed in small crates, and brought to well-ventilated and dry rooms, the fruttai, for drying. In January, the grapes are gently pressed, and the must undergoes a long and slow fermentation in contact with the skins for about 30 days. The wine matures and ages in oak barrels and tonneaux for at least 48 months to earn the Riserva designation.

From Prosecco to Amarone: wines for every taste

Veneto

Grapevines have been cultivated in Veneto since the 7th century B.C., perfected by the Romans and continued in the Middle Ages. With Venetian domination from 1405, viticulture almost completely covers the territory, and Veronese wines, thanks to the Adige River, reach Venice. What sets this region apart from many others is the continuous commercial success of its wine products. From the late 18th century, the region experienced a crisis. However, the following century saw a qualitative leap in Venetian wines, also driven by the establishment of the Società Enologica Veronese in 1872. The first edition of Vinitaly took place in 1967.

Veneto has a complex wine production chain. Important areas include the Colline del Garda Veronese and Valpolicella, with Bardolino Superiore DOCG and Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG. Worth noting is the interregional Lugana DOC, between the provinces of Verona and Mantua. In the volcanic hills between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza lies the area of Soave Superiore DOCG, Soave DOC, and Gambellara DOC. The Colli Berici DOC, south of Vicenza, is known for its reds based on international varieties and Tocai Rosso. The Breganze DOC area, north of Vicenza, is renowned for its reds and whites based on Vespaiola grapes. In the Paduan area, there are the Colli Euganei with the Moscato Fior d’Arancio DOCG, while to the south lies the Friularo di Bagnoli DOCG. In Treviso, we find the Prosecco DOCG and the Colli di Conegliano DOCG. At the borders with Friuli is the Lison DOCG.

The presence of mountain ranges, hills, and vast plains provides significant temperature variations, mitigated near Lake Garda and along the coast. Veneto is therefore rich in diverse wines, made with both native and international grape varieties that find a second home here.

Valpolicella

The Valpolicella region, located in the province of Verona amidst hills and valleys north of the city of Verona, in Veneto, extends from the Adige River valley on its western side to the volcanic territories of the Soave production area on its eastern side. Valpolicella is a controlled designation of origin (DOC - DOCG) area and includes 3 subzones: Valpolicella Classica, Valpantena, and Estesa.

The landscape is extremely rich due to the presence of morphologically varied terrain, which can be divided into three main areas: the calcareous mountainous zone formed by the Monti Lessini; the hilly belt, which hosts a large part of the vineyards; and the valley floor zone.

Consisting of valleys that run north-south, Valpolicella ideally appears as a fan of valleys that emanate from Verona. The landscape is predominantly hilly, with gentle slopes and low ridges, and is virtually dominated everywhere by vineyards, interspersed with olive trees and cherry trees. The geological and climatic characteristics of the territory, unique and varied, are the basis of the great peculiarity and typicality of its wines.
The unique and varied territory offers ideal geological and climatic conditions for the production of distinctive wines.
