AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA
DOCG CLASSICO RISERVA
Amarone Riserva expresses right from its intense, strong color, the great concentration of material that goes into its composition. It is a wine that requires a prolonged period of maturation and just for that reason reveals its true nature only after several minutes in the glass. The sweet fruit is reminiscent of ripe cherries in spirit, carob, dried prunes and faded violets, but then come the spices, nutmeg and cloves, the hints of musk and underbrush. The mouth is enveloping and thrills for its great power, elegantly restrained by the fine, almost evanescent tannins that reawaken the savory sweetness of the fruit in its long, persistent tail.
It is a wine to enjoy slowly, giving it time to reveal itself little by little. We love Amarone, and this Riserva is just the way we wanted it, capable of proving the longevity and positive evolution of this great wine over the course of the years.
Amarone Riserva is produced only in certain years and in a limited number of bottles. It is a wine to keep for your special occasions.

AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA
DOCG CLASSICO
"CAMPOMASUA"
"Campomasua" has a dense garnet red color, very intense and luminous. To the nose it is initially austere and introspective, dense and highly concentrated, but little by little it reveals its true nature. Sweet hints begin to emerge, reminiscent of tiny dark fruits, the petals of wilted violets and roses, cocoa powder, prunes and walnuts. In the mouth it is rich, strong, flavorful, balanced and highly refined.
It undergoes a lengthy maturing process that allows the wine to develop its substance and amalgamate its structure slowly. Like the gnarled trunk of an old vine that, undisturbed, continues to grow and bear fruit, "Campomasua" knows how to evolve in time and deliver new shadings of flavor with the passage of time.
Campomasua can accompany elaborate dishes, but thanks to its rich flavor it is even more satisfying by itself or paired with dark chocolate.

AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA
DOCG CLASSICO
With its intense, luminous garnet red color, Amarone is concentrated and dense. Amid the sweet sensations of violet and steeped cherries, spicy notes of pepper and cloves are temptingly perceptible. The mouth is explosive and warm, well balanced by the pleasantly savory dryness of the strong tannins that add elegance and enhance its enjoyment, with an aftertaste of small, sweet fruits preserved in spirits.
The label of this wine shows the fragment of an effigy that decorates an ancient Romanesque church located near our cellar. It depicts two winged lions guarding a vase of wine. Displaying it on our labels is our way of conveying the culture of our land to the rest of the world.
Amarone is an intense wine that needs to be paired with foods capable of standing up to the comparison with its flavorful power. Excellent with aged cheeses, it expresses the best of itself with dishes of game or very elaborate dishes like braised and slow-cooked meats. It is particularly intriguing paired with a platter of pork ribs in barbecue sauce.

ROSSO VERONA I.G.T.
"MASSIMINO"
Dense, impenetrable ruby red with garnet glints. Sweet aromas of raspberries, currants and wild strawberries joined by notes of vanilla and floral hints of red roses seduce the nose. Massimino is a wine that expressed a high degree of compactness in the mouth, but also excellent balance: the alcohol content is offset by the freshness, and the perceptibly savory dryness of the tannins accompany the tail, with a happy return of fruit jam at the very end.
This wine is dedicated to our father, Massimino, a man with a steadfast, determined character whose rather brusque manner concealed a great heart and an invariably benevolent gaze.
Massimino is a wine obtained from a brief raisining of the grapes that gives the wine an extra round, velvety character. Excellent with mixed platters of grilled meats, for an original pairing we suggest that you try it with spicy foods like a meat goulash or a spicy vegetable soup.

VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO
DOC CLASSICO SUPERIORE
"SEMONTE ALTO"
Semonte Alto has a rather dense, luminous ruby red color. Initially, the nose offers spiced and toasted hints, to open up with memories of dark fruit like blackberries and blueberries, liquorice and faded violets. On the palate it is taut, fresh and savory, with a nice tannin finish that cleanses the palate and invites another sip.
Matured in oaken barriques of moderate toasting, Semonte Alto is intense and spiced, like the great casks that lie, neatly aligned, one alongside the other, in our cellar.
Semonte Alto is a wine of strong character that accompanies highly flavored meat entrées such as stewed rabbit or roast pork with the appropriate energy. It also creates an interesting combination with soft cheeses with a ripe crust like brie.

VALPOLICELLA
DOC CLASSICO SUPERIORE
"CAMPOMASUA"
Campomasua has a brilliant ruby color. It charms the nose with juicy, round fragrances reminiscent of ripe cherries fresh off the tree; hints of violet, pink pepper and a solid mineral base complete the olfactory composition. The mouth is well balanced and pleasing, with great linearity, very drinkable, with a clean finish of great elegance.
The sun's rays warm the old stone drywall that supports our vines, spreading light and warmth that are concentrated, a little at a time, in the grapes.
Campomasua is a wine that calls for foods with strong flavors. It will exalt the flavor of a grilled Florentine steak, as well as a selection of aged cheeses, but it also goes well with elegantly prepared dishes of roasted meats like wild game.

VALPOLICELLA
DOC CLASSICO
The wine glows with a brilliant ruby red tint, good transparency. The nose gives immediate evidence of its character, simple and forthright, with fragrant notes in which marasca cherries and red currants are refreshed by a pleasantly balsamic touch. On the palate, it is direct and agile, with a satisfying return of fruity notes and a decidedly savory, cleansing finish that prepares the mouth for another sip.
Valpolicella, with its sensation of freshness, is like the summer breeze that every evening stirs the leaves of our vineyards, bringing restoration after a sultry day's work.
It is a versatile wine that goes well with meat entrées but that, when served at a cooler temperature, is also perfect with a seafood chowder.

RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA
DOCG CLASSICO
The wine has an intense ruby color, livened by warm glints of garnet. It conquers the nose with the sweet, enveloping fragrances of small ripe fruits in jam. In the bouquet one recognizes cherry, wild strawberry, blueberry and fragrant notes of dark, red blossoms. The mouth is velvety, with a delicious balance of the taste that is definitely sweet, but at the same time appropriately fresh, savory and tannic. Luscious returns of small fruits accompany the long finish.
In the ancient tradition of the Valpolicella district, Recioto was opened on special occasions, and served with the dishes of important occasions. We continue to produce it in the footsteps of our tradition.
The enormous drinkability of our Recioto makes it a gourmet wine, perfect to accompany a dessert of fancy biscuits or a tasty Sachertorte, but we recommend that you try it with savory dishes as well, such as aged cheese or a flavorful local salami. Try it and we're sure you'll agree!

RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA
DOCG CLASSICO
"LE BRUGNINE"
"Le Brugnine" has a ruby red color illuminated by vivid garnet flashes. The nose offers suave sensations of small dark red fruit jam, accompanied by hints of almond, vanilla bean, caramel and dried red orange peel, dusted with cocoa and liquorice. The mouth is warm and sweet but noticeably tannic and cleansing, with adequate freshness. The long tail is savory and rich, with lingering notes of walnut, hazelnut and figs.
"Le Brugnine" matures at length is small French barriques that give the wine muted accents of sweet spices, rendering it rich and intense. We think of it as a very special treat, to conclude a festive occasion on a note of sweetness.
The suave character of this wine goes perfectly with many types of dessert, from berry pies to dark chocolate lava cakes, panettone, marron glacé...whatever strikes your fancy.
For cigar lovers: try it with a Toscano.

RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA
DOCG CLASSICO
“A MARIASOLE”
The 2012 Recioto “A Mariasole” is coy in the glass with tart cherry, cloves and confectionary spice nuances unlocked with swirling.
Like liquid velvety on the palate, this impresses further with a contrast of ultra-ripe red fruits and candied citrus tones excited by juicy acidity.
“A Mariasole” finishes impossibly fresh and vibrant, cleaning up beautifully with a bitter hint of cinnamon that lingers under an air of sweet rose.
This ultra-traditional Recioto is a total dream to taste, vividly fruity yet never cloying.

BIANCO VERONESE IGT
With its brilliant yellow color, this wine offers juicy sensations of ripe white peaches and citrus fruits spiced with white pepper, interwoven with hints of aromatic herbs and white stone in an enjoyable bouquet. The mouth is smooth and refreshing, with a pleasant tart and savory finish that leaves lingering fruity and citrusy sensations.
It is a wine that, thanks to its particular acidity, is best with rather fatty foods such as Vicenza baccalà (salt cod) or soft cheeses. Try it with sushi.

PASSITO BIANCO VENETO IGT
"IL CASTELLIERE"
The wine glows like liquid gold with luminous amber glints. It fascinates the nose with echoes of vanilla bean, dried apricots, dried orange peel and almond. On the palate it is intense, full-flavored and rich, with a sweet, juicy sensation reminiscent of canned peaches and a warm finish of toasted almonds.
The Garganega grapes from which this wine is made are traditionally grown in Valpolicella, but in small quantities, in the midst of long rows of red grape vines. We started producing this wine in the Nineties, almost on a bet, and we haven't been able to stop ever since.
It is an eclectic wine that goes well with sweet foods like custards, flaky biscuits and pastries, but it is outstanding with grassy cheeses that express a sharp, persistent flavor.

"E...LISA"
VINO ITALIANO I.G.T. SPUMANTE BRUT ROSATO
E...lisa Spumante sparkles in glorious shade of salmon pink, livened by millions of tiny bubbles.
The nose suggests luscious memories of currants, wild strawberries and pink roses, alternating with iodized notes. The entry on the palate is taut, fresh and full-flavored, pleasingly tickled by the tiny bubbles, but followed by a softer, more delicately fruity mouth that accompanies the tail of the sip.
The wine has a sweet but strong character, just like our mother, Elisa, to whom this wine is dedicated.
E...lisa Spumante is perfect for an appetizer of vegetables, deli meats and moderately aged cheeses. We like to serve it with stuffed tomatoes and fried bread dough balls and zucchini that we make according to our mother's recipe.
