The best wineries in Verona.
Since 1890, four generations have marked the story of the Pieropan company, each with different contributions in relation to the time, knowledge and entrepreneurship. The vinegrowing and winemaking activity begins with Leonido, the doctor of the village of Soave who, driven by his knowledge in biology and chemistry, began working in the family vineyards and winery.
His sons, Fausto and Gustavo, continued his work with infinite passion, but the crucial imprinting was given by Leonildo, grandson of the founder who, with a unique style and an innate vocation, revolutionized the company.
The belief in the centrality of the vineyard, the relentless pursuit of quality and the renewal of the vinification process, characterize the identity of Pieropan.
Leonildo shares with his wife Teresita a great love for the land, the awareness of the value of tradition and a family heritage passed on to their sons, Andrea and Dario who, together with their parents, manage the company today.
There are paths that meander with no uncertainties, along clear and precise paths.
The story of Tommaso Bussola began and developed within the territory – harmonious, beautiful and of ancient tradition – of Valpolicella. The debut year is 1977, when Tommaso began working in the small winery of his uncle Giuseppe.
The traits of his personality, which then became the real “trademark” of the production, were evident even then, and left no doubt whatsoever.
We talk about passion and positive stubbornness, of “genetic enthusiasm” and about that inexhaustible energy that renovates itself from time to time in the satisfied look of a wine taster, in the positive appreciation of the public, thanks to the wise recognition of those who know how to catch in just one gulp all the dedication invested.
The Allegrini family has been protagonist of the history of Fumane and Valpolicella since the sixteenth century and, since then, hands down the culture of vine and wine. Notarial documents attest that it covered a prominent role in the local community and mention it as one of the most important families of landowners, that has always been linked to the agricultural work and the enhancement of the rural tradition.
Our company is located in Monteforte d’Alpone, in the province of Verona, a small village at the foot of the hills. The vine plants, exposed to the south, extend along 70 hectares of limestone and of volcanic tuff soil, on the highest areas on the Monteforte and Soave hills, and the main grape variety grown is Garganega ...
The annual production of our wines varies on average between 650,000 and 700,000 bottles:
San Vincenzo, the two cru Capitel Foscarino and Capitel Croce, raisin wine, I Capitelli and Cabernet Sauvignon Realda.
We are a family that has been producing wine for more than fourty years as an only business. Now we are at the third generation, we have defined well our project: to produce different wines with the sole purpose to correspond to our vision of the area, outside of the trendy styles and groups.
We work with an organic farming system because we believe it gives us a better result, but we do not declare it on the label. We believe in wine that generates emotions, possibly "blind" and to do this we have developed our internal know–how, without availing ourselves of consultants and wine guru. We rely on everyday life and minimalism in wine, in accordance to the good winemaking practices that have laid the groundwork of modern wine.
After a century and a half of activity, we still vinify only our own grapes and follow directly all the phases of winemaking, from the vineyard to the bottle.
Nowadays we have arrived with pride at the fifth generation.
Aldegheri S.R.L. is a winery that produces high-quality wines using traditional Venetian techniques. They specialize in the production of Amarone wine, and their vineyards are carefully tended to ensure the grapes are of the highest quality. The winery is family-owned and has been producing wine for over two centuries. They are committed to sustainable practices and using only the best grapes to create their exceptional wines.
They tell a nice story in the hills of Fumane. The story of grace received: it was 1860 and the local farmers, as a votive offering to the Virgin Mary for having freed their vineyards from the scourge of phylloxera, erected in honor of her the shrine of La Salette.
A church that leans, protective, over the village, climbing on a rock, surrounded by hills and vineyards. Some of these extend to just below the sacred building and has always belonged to a "historical" family of winemakers in the Valpolicella area: the Scamperle family, owner of the company which is called just like the Shrine. Also theirs is a beautiful story, which tells years of loyalty and passion for the land, especially for viticulture.
Indeed, for generations, the Scamperle family has been dedicating to the cultivation of vineyards, whose number was gradually increased over the years. Today there are twenty hectares of property, more scattered in the corners suited the Valpolicella Classica DOC: Fumane Cà Carnocchio, I Progni and Cà Melchiori, Sant’Ambrogio Conca D’Oro and in San Floriano Monte Masua. The grapes that are grown are the most classic of the area: corvina, corvinone, rondinella, oseleta, a little bit of molinara and croatina. A slow and prudent growth, in line with a peasant culture that does not force the hand of nature, but follows its rhythms to enhance its characteristics and originality.
La Salette has never stopped, finding its reason for being in the stubborn and constant pursuit of quality; an effort, this, shared by the whole family. In a family business there is always a lot of work, often without a truce, but there is always time for a friend who comes to find them, or for a guest that passes. The door of the Scamperle House and of La Salette is always open: to the excellence of produce and to friendliness.
This is also the reason why their wines are so good: Valpolicella, Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso "I Progni", IGT Veronese "Cà Carnocchio", Amarone and Recioto della Valpolicella, White Raisin "Caesar", the single–variety Molinara and, only in great vintages, "Pergolas Vece", both Amarone and Recioto.
Four brothers and a passion that was born in their father’s vineyards in San Zeno of Colognola ai Colli, an area in the Valpolicella that produces the most famous Scala wines: Amarone, Valpolicella, Soave. Ahead of their time, the Castagnedi brothers actually have worked for years as technical consultants, creating new "turnkey" plants all over Italy. They mature, in this way, a unique experience that pushes them to a decisive step. In 1989 they purchase 30 hectares of land in the area of Mezzane, which, added to their father’s property, bring the vineyards of Tenuta Sant’Antonio to the current extension of 50 hectares in total.
Bertani today: the experience of those who are able to make a wine with personality.
In 1857 the brothers Giovanni Battista and Gaetano Bertani founded the company with the enthusiasm and the avant–garde spirit that still inspires us to produce fine and remarkable wines, such as Bertani Dry, but also able to interpret the tastes of the present like Amarone Villa Arvedi. They are all wines that combine research and innovation with experience.
The property of the vineyards is the constant through which the company has been handed down generation after generation and this has became the most important element for the quality of production, so that the Bertani company is still one of the few companies in the area to have the property of the vineyards in which our grapes are produced. Today Bertani, still owned by the family members, is a solid company with a steady increase in distribution in Europe and in the world, and with a team spirit that has always distinguished our work, thanks to the new management undertaken to make more and more modern a company that has always been well renowed for its entrepreneurial ability. The Bertani company owns vineyards and wineries in Valpantena, in the estate of Villa Novare in Valpolicella, possessions in the areas of Soave and Lake Garda. The seat is in the original winery of Grezzana, northeast of Verona, where you can still find the historical vineyards and where the winemaking activities, aging, bottling and shipping are carried out.
The company is located in Cer di Negrar, on Mount Cà Paletta, on the East side of the valley of Negrar. The exposition of the vineyards is in the west and the soil is made of limestone and basalt. The farming system of the vineyards, in the old plants, is “Verona Arbour”, and in the new ones, is Guyot. The company was founded at the beginning of the twentieth century with Silvio Quintarelli, who, along with his brothers, cultivated in sharecropping the vineyards of the Figri resort, in the town of Marano di Valpolicella. The wine produced was then exported to the U.S., in barrels of 50 liters, by the owner of the land. After the First World War, precisely in 1924, the company moved into the valley of Negrar, in the locality of Cer, where Silvio continues his activity with the precious help of his sons and his wife.
In the 50s, Giuseppe, the youngest of his children, took over the management of the company, to continue the family tradition, of the vineyard and the cellar. He renovated and specialized vineyards, increased barrels and requests. With time, the activity became increasingly large, but this did not distract the attention from the traditional method, which was strictly maintained, with constant love and dedication, along with his wife, his daughters and his loyal employees.
The years ranging from 1950 and 1955 were fundamental to the winery. Recioto was an important wine and, in the case of a less generous vintage that gave a more dry wine, they tried anyway to store it for subsequent years.
This experience led to a “method”, which led to a wine, Amarone, of high quality and discovered and appreciated by important connoisseurs. Amarone has been created from respect for nature, in the cultivation of the vine, from a patient and careful selection of grapes and a strong bond with tradition. In the 80s, following a reorganization of the property with the purchase of new vineyards, production was optimized and important changes in the selection of the grapes, and hence in production, were made. Since 1985, in effect, varieties of grapes such as Nebbiolo, Croatina, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc are regularly used, with excellent results. Another wine has been created: Alzero, fruit of experience and awareness in the technical drying of grapes, traditional of Valpolicella. Two features accompany the wines produced by the company: a natural predisposition to a long aging, which leads to improve the product for even more than twenty years, and a surprising liveliness, which express themselves for a long time after the opening of the bottle.
Azienda Agricola Ottella is located in the territory of the town of Peschiera del Garda, but San Benedetto di Lugana is the Cru that fans have to visit. Ottella deserves a place of the highest importance within its designation. Its Lugana DOC wines stand out for a style that points to the subtlety of tone, to aromatic intensity and widespread minerality. A conceptual, contemporary and original Lugana DOC, loved even beyond its geographical boundaries. This is the philosophy of creating wines in strict correspondence nose–mouth, fine and elegant in their evolution, exciting in their mineral feeling, the idea of wines of tasty pulp enriched with the salted and spiced flavor of clay.
Azienda Agricola Monte Frà is located in the heart of Custoza, east of Lake Garda and just 15 km from the old town of Verona, was founded by brothers Eligio and Claudio Bonomo in 1958. The firm today is composed of more than 100 hectares of property, among which, besides the namesake Monte, other estate owe their name to the same locality, such as Cà del Magro, Monte Godi, Mascarpine, Staffalo, Monte Fitti, Grottino and the beautiful Lena di Mezzo Estate in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica: Fumane.
Other hectares, then, are rented and all in the best zones of Verona. The family’s passion for wine of the Bonomo family was born in the country, whose staunch belief that good wine has its first origins in the vineyard, has meant that the first radical choices were made in its nature, leading to increase the number of vineyards in the field, a number that varies depending on the variety from 4,000 to 7,000 vines per hectare and choosing as a system of farming only the double Guyot and spurred cordon systems, which require to produce no more than 2–3 kg per plant. All the vineyards are completely irrigated through micro–irrigation, to allow the plant to be supplied in the best way in every season. The preservation of vintage characteristics are then guaranteed in the wine cellar, where through the temperature control both during pressing and during the fermentation and processing of musts optimally preserves the characteristics of each wine produced. The winery also has a loft for drying grapes, a barrel room for the aging of structure wines, a bottling plant and a storage wine cellar at a controlled temperature.
The meticulous attention that the family puts in every step of production means that their wines are imposed on domestic, European and international markets, chosen among the most representative of the typicality of Verona.
Besides the important approval of the customer quality, wines are confirmed by numerous journalistic awards, contests and guides who annually come from all over the world.
Azienda Agricola Marion, located in the uncontaminated Marcellise valley, east of Verona, is a small family run business managed by Stefano Campedelli, his wife Nicoletta and his brother Marco. The corporate philosophy is aimed at a careful and constant care of all stages of the production of wine, starting mainly from the management of the vineyards geared strictly to the maximum preservation of the natural balance of plants, Vineyards are located in an extremely sunny foothills and have been partially converted into Guyot, a breeding system that allows a greater qualitative yield of grapes. Ability, tenacity, work are the characteristics that have allowed this company to produce wines such as Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Teroldego, with great body and personality and able to express at the first sip the terroir that few producers are able to enhance in the best way.
The experience gained from the Grandi family and the entrenched vinegrowing and winemaking bases soon bear fruit. In the early 90s, still very young, he was called as a consultant by companies which wanted to produce wines of high and excellent quality. After 15 years of work, the basic concept that led to the creation of the I Campi company is consolidated in Flavio. The excellent quality of the wine originates from a set of interrelated factors which are: the optimization of viticulture, the optimization of the winery, and last not least THE TERROIR and in particular the land on which vines are grown. From this concept, the search for land (Campi) in areas of very high wine–growing vocation begins, and this is why the wines of the I Campi farm are called with the name of the soil profile from which they come. The company today cultivates about 12 hectares of land in management divided into Soave Classico and Valpolicella DOC. The Soave vineyards are located in one of the most well–known crus of the classic area in the territory of Costeggiola, in the Soave district, and lie to height differences of about 200 m.
