The best wineries in Verona.
In Monteforte d’Alpone, area of production of Soave Classico, the seat of the Gini farm is located, a production reality that has always been a point of reference for the quality of its wines. The brothers, Sandro and Claudio, deal personally with the management of more than 30 hectares of vineyards located in some of the hilly positions with the highest winegrowing vocations. Thanks to this company, it is possible to know how to reconcile the love for tradition with the most modern techniques of work and refinement that today’s wine–growing profession demands. In the new cellar, dug into the tufa rock, the precious wines produced by this company are kept. Their motto, "quality first", is an imperative that rhymes with seriousness, simplicity, friendliness and passion for their work.
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.
Its quality, its characteristics are the result of little everyday choices. Since you prepare the ground for the plant of cuttings to the time of bottling, nothing should be left to chance, or excessively planned. Hence the philosophy of the manufacturer, his relationship with nature on the one hand, and with technology on the other, become essential moments to understand and better enjoy wine beyond any organoleptic characteristic easily amenable to conventional parameters. Each wine of the Sant’Alda court, comes from a particular vineyard that, for its location, its variety of grapes, its age and its type of farming, was preferred over time to produce its own wine that allows us to get a clear–cut and indisputable quality. All the grapes are certified organic, are picked by hand at the moment of ripeness, sometimes forcing us to perform several steps in the vineyards. The fermentations start spontaneously (own yeasts) and occur in small conical oak vats of 40 hl, where temperatures are only partially controlled. At the end of this phase, which generally lasts 15 days, in the case of Amarone over a month, after subsequent decanting, wines, except for Soave Vigne di Mezzane, before being bottled are aged in wood of different essence, capacity and age for a period ranging from 6 months to 4 years.
If in every great wine a story is held, that of Coffele wines tells first of all an encounter of love, that between Giovanna Visco and Giuseppe Coffele, in 1971. Then, it narrates their passion grown over the years: for the land, for the vines and on the pursuit of an excellence that has its roots in the tradition of the Visco family, a historic winery of Soave that already in the middle of the Nineteenth century vinified its grapes harvested in Castelcerino, one of the most suited crus of the Soave Classico area. This story comes up to date: the Coffele farm is now enriched by the presence of Alberto and Chiara Coffele, respectively enotechnician and sales manager. The Coffele wines were created and are kept behind the ancient portal that houses the winery dating back to the seventeenth century, right in the Soave old town, a place that combining ancient traditions to the vivacity of youth becomes a place to enjoy timeless flavors.
Cavalchina is the name of the area where the company is located, a name that probably was attributed to the fact that it was the residence of Count Cavalchini.
Located in the extreme South–East of the morainic amphitheater of Lake Garda, it has always had a vinegrowing vocation. In effect, the land registry of the Hapsburgs in 1848 already reports the existence of a large number of vineyards with the classification of Frist and Second category.
Probably, this classification was not only based on quality, but took into account the constant of production of the vineyard, to say, that of its resistance to drought, the main feature of the moraine soils of Lake Garda.
Cavalchina was stage of battles during the Fist and Second Wars of Independence; to witness the battle of 1866, a brown slate obelisk that commemorates the wounding of Prince Amedeo of Savoy remains.
The Cavalchina Farm was founded at the beginning of the latest century with the purchasing of the first group of vineyards, the winery was built later and was partly intended as a vinasse distillery, a facility which remained in activity until 1967. The most important historical fact linked to the Cavalchina Farm within the wine cellar was certainly the invention of Custoza, as Cavalchina in 1962 was the first to call Custoza the white wine of the area, obtained from Fernanda, Trebbiano and Garganega grapes, and to bring this wine to establish itself in the markets, then the most important, such as Rome and Milan.
Le Muraglie farm, nestled in the picturesque hills of Baldo and Lake Garda, in Santa Lucia dei Monti in Valeggio sul Mincio, for more than a century grows the vineyards that surround the country house built in 1624 in the homonymous Muraglie locality. For years, in this place of peace and healthy industriousness, the Vicentini family has been able to sublimate in scent and in taste the careful gestation of the generous and pleasing Bianco Custoza and Rosso Bardolino: wines that today are more than ever appreciated on our tables. The brothers Luigi and Franco personally deal with the various stages of harvest: from the collection, done carefully by hand, to vinification. Their goal is not a production aimed at large markets, but high quality, evidenced by the numerous awards won by the fine wines of the company.
In the heart of the classic Bardolino area, our Winery is located, which for as many as 5 generatios has been devoting itself with love and passion to the production of the great Classic Verona Wines. Only from the best grapes, wines of strong and distinguished character, such as Bardolino, Valpolicella, Amarone, Lugana, Soave and Custoza, are produced. Proud of our tradition, we reserve a meticulous care to all the stages of the production chain, from the cultivation in the vineyard, to the drying, to the vinification and the fining of great wines. Included in the winery, the Museum of Wine is located, created in 1991 to offer to all wine lovers a proof of the winemaking culture to which our family has been devoted for generations. Adjacent to the Museum there is a wine shop, that offers for tasting and sale the wines of our Winery. We organize also fascinating visits with tasting for groups.

The company now consists of 800 vinegrowers and covers an area of 2,500 hectares belonging to the prestigious Soave and Valpolicella Designation of Origin.

«Respect, passion, a willingness of Terre di Leone, make of you an artisan of wine production and of labor in the vineyards, aware that technological innovation must necessarily be placed at the service of the natural course of time, waiting with patience that fruits are turned into wine».
The Terre di Leone company is a Young business actually located in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, specifically in the town of Marano di Valpolicella. His property extends to a total of 10 hectares in the rolling hills of Verona, of volcanic origin, 400 meters above sea level, all destined to vineyards.
The company owes its name to a stone arch called the Arch of Jupiter, clearly visible from the road that leads to Negrar (one of the five towns in the historical Valpolicella), next to which there is the farmhouse where, until a few years ago, the Fedrigo family lived.
The arch, dating back to the sixteenth and seventeenth century was part of a series of 7 arches, along a path in the hilly area in the San Vito di Negrar locality. This name evokes in Luca Fedrigo memories of the past that he wanted to hand down the wines that are produced.
Luca, working for years for a prestigious winery in Valpolicella, to which he owes its experience and gratitude, is proposed as a young company but with an ancient heart, dynamic and well structured, careful to offer a unique product for its origins while maintaining the traditions that bind the wines of Valpolicella.
Much gratitude and friendship bind Luca to Luiz Alberto Barichello, wine producer in Brazil, Argentina and Tuscany (www.villabari.com.br) with which the winery has always worked.
In 2001, together, they created two important IGT wines, Rubeo and Pario, which are highly valued, both in European countries and also in North and South America, because of the particular composition of different grapes, among which the Amarone grapes, to say, Rondinella, Corvina and Molinara, stand out.
The history of our company began in Val d’Adige, in Trentino, where our family has always cultivated vines with passion.
With great–grandfather Onorio, in the years following the end of World War II, a small local trade of wine in casks began, wine that came from the grapes of his own vineyard. It is thanks to the entrepreneurial ability of grandfather Vittorio, who succeeded Onorio, assisted by his brother Bruno, that a winery was founded, in the 60s, in Serravalle all’Adige, built thanks to countless sacrifices and great determination.
The vineyard of the family thus becomes a true philosophy of life, so much to lead the grandfather, in the 70s, to buy more soil in the Veneto region in Pastrengo, in the area of Bardolino wine. The love for the land and the passion for wine were handed down also to the son of Vittorio, Fulvio, recently graduated in Oenology, who collaborated in the construction and management of the newly formed winery of Pastrengo. Over the years the farm area has increased, acquiring more and more skills and knowledge in the wine sector, paying more attention to the product quality and specializing in the making of Bardolino and Chiaretto wines.
In 2001 a vineyard on the hills of Umbria, in the area of Orvieto Classico, was purchased. Since 2006, the daughters Claudia, graduated in Oenology, and Giulia, with a diploma in Agriculture, joined the company, and in 2009 founded the new corporate brand “Benazzoli”, so the bottling of a careful selection of wines began.
Our philosophy is to recreate in wines the flavors of the land they come from, aiming particularly to the tradition and teachings of the past, without neglecting innovation and maintaining the same spirit, the same desire to improve and our passion for wine, that has always distinguished us.

Tommasi Viticoltori, a family business founded in 1902.
It is situated in Pedemonte, in the heart of the historic Valpolicella Classica, a strip of land that extends to the north–west of Verona,
among the plain, the Lessini Mountains and Lake Garda.
The hills of Valpolicella are a favored land not only for history, culture and traditions
but also for the beauty of the landscape and for the extraordinary vocation for vinegrowing.

and today extends for over 135 hectares of vineyards in the DOC zones of the province of Verona and 66 hectares in Tuscany Maremma.

The vineyards of San Pietro do not represent a company, but the dream of two sensitive people in love with nature. Sergio and Franca: my father and my mother.
In 1980 their journey in search of a place led them to Vogne di San Pietro, a unique estate, located on the hill of San Pietro in Sommacampagna moraine, between Verona and Lake Garda.
An island just a few steps from the city, nestled in the rolling high countryside (Summa Campania), caressed by the cool winds of the lake. From the search of a better quality in their vines, comes the desire to deal with nature and with the generous grapes of the moraine area.
The quality, already with the first harvest in 1981, essential to be present on the market, is now looking to express its own personality criticism compared with fashionable technicalities. In 2007 the friend Giovanni Boscani joined the company as a partner, who brought as a dowry, in addition to his professionalism in the industry, ten hectares of vineyards in the Valpolicella Classica area. The collaboration with his friend oenologist Federico Giotto, started already in 2000, produced a significant increase in quality, while respecting our style and territory.
Our wines are Custoza DOC, Bardolino DOC, Cordenosa IGT, rosé of pure Corvina, Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC, Amarone Classico DOC, Refol IGT, important red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon raisin grapes and Merlot and Duecuori IGT, raisin of Moscato Giallo.
