The best wineries in Lavagno.
Typically crafted production of wines, for meal and company.
Created according to the tradition of Valpolicella, the Ruffo wines have the typical ruby color with violet reflections, the intense aromas reminiscent of red fruits like cherry, blackberry, plum, chestnut in addition to fragrances and pepper.
Amarone della Valpolicella DOC, one of the productions, has a warm and full flavor that blends with a velvety body, creating an excellent balance, maintaining its traditional austere personality. It is produced and aged in oak barrels with passion and experience by the Artisan of Wine Ernesto Ruffo, an appreciated vinegrower.
In 1958 Domenico Fraccaroli starts his activity in "a little corner of Paradise" of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Paradiso di Pocenia, Udine), producing both aromatic white wines, such as Friulano, and structured red wines, such as Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso.
In 2002, at the Lavagno company (Verona), his son Titian Fraccaroli decided to expand the "range of taste" with the production of fine wines such as Amarone, Ripasso, Valpolicella Superiore and Recioto (achieving numerous awards and certificates of quality) and extra virgin olive oil and Vialone Nano rice.
Today, children Domenico, Luca and Maria are helping to bring the DOMENICO FRACCAROLI brand towards the future with great commitment and passion, strong of the cultural and working heritage of grandfather Domenico and father Tiziano.
The DOMENICO FRACCAROLI products are synonymous with quality and genuineness and reflect the characteristics of the company: passion, sophistication, elegance and respect for tradition.
I SALTARI is a project founded with the collaboration of Casa Vinicola Sartori and Cantina di Colognola whose objective is, of course, to continue to improve the wine production in the province of Verona, also including the enhancement of micro–zones or valleys undervalued by now. In this way, we want to create a laboratory study.
The vineyards of I Saltari are developed on 34 hectares in the valley of Mezzane, of which 8 are adjacent to the historic home in the Turano locality in the municipality of San Pietro di Lavagno. The others are located in the hills always surrounding the valley of Mezzane. Grape varieties are exclusively native: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and lesser–known varieties such as Croatina, Oseleta and Corbina, an ancient indigenous varietal that is being recovered. The density varies between 3,500 and 4,500 vines per hectare with an average production between 1.2 and 1.5 kg per plant.
I Saltari
The name is inspired by the figure of the “Saltaro” (the guard of the vineyards in the eighteenth century) which left an inscription in 1709 on the ceiling of one of the internal vaults of the historic wine cellar.
