描述
The name Valpolicella is believed to be an appellation for the big turn of the Adige river between Chiusa and Parona. Vines are present in the Valpolicella region since more than 40 millions years, as showed by fossils found in this territory. The first written confirmations regarding cultivation of Amarone ancestors date back to the Roman age, with witnesses as Plinio and Marziale. This culture continued then through the middle-age till the present time, overcoming in full shape the phyllossera crisis ant the end of 19th century. During the 20th century the quality procedures have been carefully fixed and these wines belong now to the best expressions of the Italian oenological production.

Story | The name Valpolicella seems to indicate the great loop formed by the curve of the Adige as it flows through the sluice at Parona (Verona). Vines have been present in Valpolicella for more than 40 million years, but the first written evidence of the production of the progenitors of Amarone dates back to Roman times. The crop expansion continued in the Middle Ages to reach the present day, brilliantly overcoming the period of the crisis caused by the phylloxera infection of the 19th century. The 20th century definitively codified the quality criteria, raising the product to the highest ranks of the Italian oenological panorama. |
