The best wineries in Verona.
The story of the Accordini Igino winery began in 1821, in the heart of Valpolicella, an area with strong and deeply rooted traditions of viticulture and vinification. It is a passion that began with an inheritance: three hectares of vineyards, the grapes of which were used to make wine only for the family, which loved passing the spring and their spare time in the cru called “Le Bessole”.
Over the years the production increased in quantity and above all quality, thanks also to the introduction of new Corvina plants, a fundamental grape variety for Valpolicella Classico. The Accordini Igino winery, which made its appearance in the 60s, produced high quality wines, the first bottle for the market being a rich and fragrant Amarone with an important, embracing personality and superior organoleptic characteristics.
The successfully story from family production to national and international marketing started here, thanks to the untiring and careful work of Guido Accordini, Iginio's son, and his wife Liliana, who guided the company towards enological innovation without forgetting tradition.
The love of viticulture and vinification has passed through the family, with Ilaria, Guido and Liliana's daughter, bringing her experience and skills in marketing and foreign languages to the winery in order to develop business in foreign markets.
Barriques and wood interwaeve each other with modern lines and permit to receive guests in a comfortable and informal atmosphere, the right place to taste Accordini Iginio wines, combined with typical products of this area.

Territory:
A so strong relationship with territory lead necessary to an awareness:
this is the reason why Accordini family has always a special care for environmental policies.
All the works for assure a great vine cultivation are done in full respect of the structure of the terrain.
"The heart of our winery beats in the same three hectares of vineyards obtained in '800. A passion borned and growed up through the traditions of this family, that has always had a true love for a small piece of land and the good vine. During these two centuries we have seen our vineyards growing up the same as our family, a story that has already a lot to tell."
Wines:
All these aspects and the real passion and love for winemaking make us able to obtain wines of the highest quality with superior organoleptic characteristics, high concentration of dry extract and winemaking system that respect the natural organic system, without use of added yeasts .
Azienda Agricola Castelmontioni of Cinelli Eugenio, production of wines and sparkling wines of Oltrepò Pavese such as Brut and Extra Brut classic method vintage, and of the Verona area such as Bardolino classic and the awarded PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Azienda Agricola Valentina Cubi is located near the city of Verona, in the hills of Valpolicella. The business, of family ownership, is run by the owner that gives it her name, Valentina Cubi, and consists of 13 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and orchards. The vineyards are in conversion towards organic farming and produce the raw materials for the manufacture of authentic Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto: wines based on the native grape Corvina.
The Scriani farm in Fumane is a little gem in the heart of Valpolicella, a fertile land of flavors and traditions, outlined by the rows of its renowned vineyards and grounded in the undulating landscape of rolling hills.
The Cottini family have been farmers for generations, founding their own work on the values of the peasant culture. Their passion for the land and the deep awareness of their roots have given them for years the most authentic sense of the life of each member.
Vineyards and grapes
Mandolari, Bosco, Carpan, Tondin, La Costa are grounds that include vines of an age between nine and forty years, cultivated with arbor method, single or double, for a total density of three thousand plants per hectare. Ronchiel is the latest, it has a density of four thousand and five hundred vines per hectare.
The vineyards are located in a way which takes into account not only the characteristics of the soil, but also the configuration of the surrounding forests.
The flagship of the Scriani production, Amarone, is aged eighteen months in barriques, and subsequently eight months in oak barrels and aged in bottles for another six months.
A prestigious selection that combines body, scents and tastes, from mild to intense, with unique hints given by the variety of grapes used: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and others. Awards and recognitions obtained in prestigious events are the most tangible evidence that the Scriani company works with commitment and seriousness and is one of the most influential names in the Italian wine scenery.
In the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, the "Corte Fornaledo" winery was founded. Giacomo and Francesco, the Borghetti brothers, have in their barrels distinctive wines of the Valpolicella Classica that are aging and soon will be ready to be enjoyed.
From the 2009 vintage, we have started a new path.
We started making wine with a part of our grapes producing our classic wines (Amarone Classico Riserva, Amarone Classico, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso, Valpolicella Classico Superiore and Recioto Classico). In March 2011 we sold our first "Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 2009" and in May 2011 our "Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2009" will be ready, too.
In our small way, we have always been sensitive to the environment in which we live every day, in respect of health and also in respect of those less fortunate than others. Already in the 80s our dad Giovanni Battista Borghetti had turned to African students for various seasonal jobs in the country (he was a true precursor) and now we are in close cooperation with the social cooperative Pantarei that deals with giving new possibilities to political refugee children, especially from Africa.
But our sensitivity has reached a milestone when we made the labels of our wines by entering part of the text in Braille for blind people (already visible on all our bottles of Recioto 2009).
I belong to the fifth generation of vinegrowers and winemakers of Valpolicella. Amarone, Recioto, Valpolicella in itself, are known by experts all over the world. This success has established itself thanks to families like mine, which over time have worked with dedication on the pursuit of quality. When you continue a family tradition, on the one hand there is the fear of change and on the other hand there is the desire to do something new, to leave a mark.
I created my new company in Fumane in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, where the elements to produce well are all there, from the soil to the climate. As everything that is alive, wine, the result of a constant evolution; I try to guide this evolution in my own way, Secondo Marco.
In Negrar, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, on the little hill of Vigolo, the Vogadori Brothers company is located, a family winery. Alberto, Gaetano and Emanuele work in the vineyards to obtain great wines from their rich land.
Valpolicella, Ripasso, Recioto, Amarone and Raffaello are appreciated worldwide and now considered among the most famous Italian wines. The passion for the land has been passed down generation after generation: to get a great wine you have to start from the vineyard. Therefore, the decision to avoid chemical treatments on the vines, to use only natural fertilizers and to thin out the bunches when they are still green, to allow vines to achieve the highest quality. To safeguard the environment, The Vodagori Brothers have also decided to use only lighter glass bottles and to produce through the photovoltaic panels all the energy used in the company. The maximum respect for the environment is an essential ingredient for the quality of the wines.
The ideal location of the vineyards has also facilitated the achievement of a remarkable quality: the little hill of Vigolo with exposure to the South produces excellent grapes for Amarone. In effect, with a grape of first choice, you can achieve fine wines and the usage of natural yeasts contained in grapes allows to obtain really typical and traditional wines.
"Villa Canestrari" was founded in the nineties by the merger of the Bonuzzi and Franchi families, both with over 120 years of winemaking tradition, and has become the symbol and the main brand of a new production philosophy that has as its goal the quality and typicality of the territory. The vineyards, all of the property, are located in the hills east of Verona, in Val d’Illasi. Thanks to these and various microclimates, every single production area is enhanced in its typicality in the best way. The cellar of vinification, the one of processing and the loft for the resting grapes are located in Colognola ai Colli.
In Illasi, over the aging cellars of "Villa Canestrari", the Wine Museum has been created, which collects tools for winemaking of the end of nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. In the "barn", where once they put to dry the grapes for Recioto and Amarone, courses for taster, themed tasting evenings with tasting of wines from various regions of Italy and abroad take place today, and the cuture of wine and that of the territory are promoted.
Graziano Prà. A life dedicated to vineyards in the ancient black lands of Monteforte d’Alpone. A man who has picked the fruit of his father’s work to offer the consumer one of the most interesting Garganeghe of the Designation. He is uncompromising in the pursuit of quality and in the interpretation of the valuable soils that he owns. Finesse and elegance in wines always marked by a pleasant minerality. Born as a white wine maker, he undertook the beautiful adventure of Morandina. A vineyard at high altitude in the high Mezzane Valley, for authentic and intense wines. Graziano Prà has been following the company since the early eighties, though his fate as a winemaker was marked by his grandfather and his father. He has elevated to international fame small territories like Colle Sant’Antonio, Monte Grande and Morandina. Prestigious small crus placed in highly suited wine growing districts. Essentiality and respect for the land are the principles that underpin its history. Purity is a substantial word for the wines by Graziano. He loves his vineyards and cultivates them with wisdom and humility. In the winery he prefers the preservation of fruits and all the research and development is focused on the enhancing of the high quality of the grapes that come from the field. The beginning of organic growing for the wines from Valpolicella are an act of love towards the unspoilt and pristine territory that elevates the vineyards from the ancient fossil marl.
The Gamba Gnirega farm, of the brothers Giovanni,
Giuseppe and Martino Aldrighetti, has devoted itself for generations,
with great passion and expertise, to
the cultivation of the vine.
The Aldrighetti brothers follow carefully all the
production chain: cultivation, crushing, winemaking
and bottling.
They produce high quality grapes from which
wines with unique and inimitable features are produced, thanks
to the peculiarities of the territory.
Located in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the company
has more than six hectares of vineyards, terraced,
resting on rolling hills at an altitude of
about 300 meters above sea level.
The Sartori Wine House is located north of Verona in the hills of Valpolicella, in the heart of the classic production, is not only famous for its wines, but also for the enjoyment of the landscape and the important sites of tourist and cultural interest.
It was here, in 1898, that Pietro Sartori bought the seventeenth–century Villa Maria, already the home of the Murari Brà counts, still the prestigious seat of the company.
Soon, the wines produced by the winery of the villa will meet the favor of a growing clientele, enough to convince Regolo, the son of Pietro, to strengthen the activity.
In the early 60s Pier Umberto and Franco, the sons of Regolo, thanks to their strong entrepreneurial skills, had the merit of bringing the company to international prominence by starting to export the Veronese wines.
Today, Andrea, Luca and Paolo – the fourth generation of the family – have succeeded thanks to their commitment to bring the production company to increasingly higher levels.
These results have been achieved through a deep technological renovation of facilities, without forgetting the wealth of business knowledge acquired.
Tur, in white, red and rosé versions, is a wine synonymous with a bubbly emphasis. Created in 1983 to meet the needs of the modern consumers, after more than 25 years of history and more than 60 million bottles produced, is still among the market leaders.
Casa Vinicola Santi was founded in 1843 by Attilio Carlo Santi, began its production devoting itself to the classic Soave, Valpolicella, Recioto, Amarone and Bardolino, obtained from grapes grown in vineyards of property in the heart of the most suited areas.
The Santi company, over the years, has changed gradually. It was Santi to inaugurate the GIV quality path that has interested all the production chain, from the Vineyard to the vinification techniques, from winemaking thought to bottling. Three are the wineries for vinification; Tenuta Pule, San Pietro Incariano and Tenuta Preella, one for maturation and one for bottling, in Pedemonte, equipped with the most modern Technologies. Santi is today synonimous with produce of great prestige, fruit of the ability and experience of the oenologists, jealous of their traditions and at the same time looking to the future.
Lamberti, founded in 1964 in Lazise, on the shores of Lake Garda, derives its name from one of the oldest noble families of Verona, those Lamberti who were also lords of Verona and disputed their domain over the city with the powerful Della Scala family.
This great company is credited with having first understood the needs of an undergoing market in transformation and with having found the right key to revitalize and enhance the classic wines and not of that region: Soave, Bardolino and Valpolicella. Lamberti is not only the classic wines, the Tur, the sparkling wine of quality on the market for 25 years, one of the most sold sparkling wines in Italy. Sensitive and always attentive to new trends in the wine consumption of the recent years, the range has been enhanced with a line of wines with low alcohol content.
The name Conti D’Arco comes from the noble family owner of the medieval castle, that from the Cliff of Arco dominates the vineyards of the beautiful valley between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites. The Italian Wine Group has purchased the property with the Conti D’Arco brand, with its long history, and has established a production agreement with Cantina Sociale Mezzacorona, actually one of the most interesting wine producing areas of Trentino.
Between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, the D’Arco castle overlooks the valley from the top of a high cliff. The hills that stretch in this area were chosen for the selection of precious vines already at the time of the Austro –Hungarian Empire. The story was the one of the noble family of Conti D’Arco. The names of Odorico, Vinciguerra, Prospero, Andrea D’Arco, are tied in the ages to events that touch the legend. Always close to other famous families, such as Gonzaga, and often counselors of Emperors, many of the Counts D’Arco were cultured and refined gentlemen; Nicolò was a poet and humanist, Giorgio lover of music and friend of Mozart. In the splendid castle and in the Renaissance buildings of the village, the deep and cool cellars called "Caneve" never missed, in which to store the excellent wine harvested with the tithes of the county.
The Conti D’Arco line includes a number of DOC wines of the Trentino region, selected in the more suited areas in the region by oenologists who follow every step of the process of production, from the vineyard to the bottle. A zone from the ideal soil and climate, Trentino also has a renowned tradition of sparkling wine making. For this reason, in the range, Talento Trento Doc and classic method sparkling wines dedicated to all special occasions are also present.
