From this winery

Casa Lupo is born, a new chapter in Paladin's wine-making history, which continues to tell us of a long-standing passion for wine. Today, Paladin has decided to renew its commitment as an ambassador for the region and for Italian wine production around the world, taking another step forward that marks a return to its regional origins. This new challenge will be taken up by one of the best terroirs in the Veneto region, with a strong wine-growing tradition that for years has produced wines that have become a symbol of Italianness around the world: Valpolicella.

Here, Paladin has established an intense collaboration with the winegrowers of Valpolicella, combining their local expertise with the methods and skills of its own agronomists and oenologists. Casa Lupo embodies the pride and importance of Valpolicella, offering three excellent products on the market: Ripasso della Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella, and Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva.

Soil composition	The soils are produced by the alteration of calcareous-fossiliferous formations, in particular red flake and biancone.
Harvest	The harvest takes place in several stages during the last two weeks of September to allow the grapes to ripen optimally. The grapes are harvested by hand and left to dry in the drying room.
Wine making	The grapes, harvested in boxes, remain in the drying room until December/January. The loss of water, a consequence of the drying period, favours the concentration of all substances in the grapes. Fermentation and maceration take place in small steel vats.
