Marinella Camerani celebrates 40 harvests with a special Amarone and the book "Radici Scoperte"

There's a thread that connects the roots of the land to those of people. It's the thread that runs through Radici Scoperte , the new book by Fabio Piccoli, journalist, author, and observer of the Italian wine world. The book is dedicated to Marinella Camerani , the soul and founder of Corte Sant'Alda, a winery in Valpolicella that produces organic and biodynamic wines, such as the 2015 Amarone DOCG chosen as the celebratory wine for its 40th anniversary.

This recognition comes at a particularly significant time: 2026 marks Marinella's fortieth anniversary at the helm of her company, a company that has helped redefine the very concept of viticulture in Valpolicella through a pioneering vision deeply rooted in biodiversity , respect for the land , and an authentic approach to wine.

Fabio Piccoli's dedication thus takes on a significance that goes beyond a simple personal tribute. It is the recognition of a journey that has left a profound mark on the Italian winemaking scene, making Marinella Camerani a point of reference for generations of winemakers and for all those who believe in an agriculture capable of combining quality, identity, and responsibility .

" Marinella represents one of the most authentic expressions of the relationship between man, land, and wine. Its history is one of courageous choices, consistency, and an extraordinary ability to anticipate issues that are central to the sector today ," emphasizes Fabio Piccoli in the book's introductory pages.

In 14 chapters and 42 pages, the author journeys through Marinella Camerani's story with vivid sincerity and transparency. Direct, as is the protagonist. Between the excitement of being able to choose and the difficulties of the system and the industry, between satisfactions and moments of great despair, Radici Scoperte reminds us that "those who sow utopia reap reality."

Marinella Camerani's life has been largely dedicated to Valpolicella and, in particular, to Amarone . To celebrate her fortieth anniversary, Corte Sant'Alda is releasing a special 2015 Amarone della Valpolicella. 2015 is a symbolic vintage, embodying the essence of the

work carried out over these decades and which becomes concrete testimony to an entrepreneurial and human history.

The book is available for purchase on the website www.winemeridian.com Cover price: 15 euros.
