Description
The Calvarino vineyard is in the heart of the Soave Classico zone and represents the core of the ancient family estate, bought at the beginning of 1900. The soil here dates back to the tertiary era and is rich in clay and tufaceous basalt which give the wine an attractive savoury, mineral quality. The name ‘Calvarino’ derives from ‘Little Calvary’ reflecting how difficult the soil is to work and the tortuous path which winds from top to bottom. The label was first released in 1971 and is symbolic of the most traditional, most characteristic wine from the Soave area.

Leonildo's idea was simple but at the same time revolutionary: to enhance the individual vineyards and give the wines an identity based on the relationship between variety, soil, climate and human work. The strong link with the territory leads Leonildo to make important choices also for the agronomic management of the vineyard, eliminating chemical weeding in 2002 and starting to convert all production to organic in 2008. In 2008, with other friends, he founded ''FIVI'', the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers.
The Valpolicella adventure arrives in the early 2000s, with the acquisition of the Monte Garzon Vineyard and Villa Cipolla in Tregnago, recently renovated and used as a Wine RelaiIs. In a few years Leonildo became the best interpreter of Soave and a point of reference for the national and international markets.
The fourth generation, represented by his sons Andrea and Dario both graduates in agriculture and enology, after the painful loss of their father in 2018, continue the family tradition in the vineyards near Soave with the same love and passion of their forefathers. Read more
