Description
What kind of wine it is
This Valpolicella Classico Superiore by Domìni Veneti is crafted from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara, offering a fresh and fruity sip. The production process involves temperature-controlled fermentation and targeted maceration, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Ageing in stainless steel preserves the primary aromas, resulting in an elegant structure and well-harmonised tannins.
Where it comes from
The grapes are sourced from the heart of Valpolicella, specifically from the Negrar area. The vines thrive between 250 and 450 metres above sea level, on clay-silt soils enriched with valuable calcareous and volcanic fractions. These exposures ensure consistent ripening, giving the wine excellent freshness. Domìni Veneti makes the most of the hillside vineyards, delivering in the glass an orderly tannic texture and a pronounced sense of place.
How it is produced
The meticulous vinification begins with a purely manual harvest carried out in the autumn months. After crushing, fermentation is accompanied by regular punching down and pumping over to carefully extract aromas and colours. Following natural stabilisation, the wine displays a bright ruby red colour, offering clear notes of cherry, plum, violet and a hint of black pepper. Its balanced fruity and spicy profile is ideal for enhancing pasta dishes with ragù, red meats and tasty medium-aged cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Produced in the heart of Negrar, the Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore from Domìni Veneti embodies the excellence of a historic winery founded in 1933, renowned for the noble art of appassimento. This captivating Venetian red is born from a meticulous manual autumn harvest, followed by a ten-day maceration that shapes its elegant structure. Awarded the Decanter Silver Medal, this wine reflects impeccable oenological care, offering a perfect balance between traditional roots and absolute refinement in the glass.

The spirit is the same as that of the visionary cooperative founded in 1933 by the seven businessmen from Verona, just as the very same principles guide our work on a daily basis today and inspire every new project: initiative, reciprocity and collaboration.
Generations that work side by side: this is the strength of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar. It is the same strength that has enabled us to stride through history and become the benchmark producer when it comes to Amarone, Ripasso and the technique of Appassimento.
Energy and creativity on the one hand; on the other, the wisdom that comes from the experience of many vintages, leading to a generational renewal that takes place while we work together. Read more
