Description
Type of wine
The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Collezione Pruviniano from the Domini Veneti winery is a still red wine produced in the renowned Veneto region. This elegant blend of Corvina grapes and other local varieties falls under the prestigious Valpolicella Classico Superiore controlled designation of origin and is distinguished by its balanced mineral structure and soft tannins. Carefully vinified and aged in stainless steel, it expresses freshness and intense balsamic and fruity notes, proving to be the ideal accompaniment for pasta dishes with ragù, roast meats, and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes used for this production are grown in the vineyards of Marano di Valpolicella, a sub-zone of great viticultural importance in Veneto. The soils are located at an altitude between two hundred and two hundred and fifty metres above sea level, characterised by a fine silty-clay composition with distinct limestone traits. The south-east and south-west exposure guarantees a constant ripening of the clusters, infusing the final product with a strong sense of terroir. Historically, the entire Marano area was originally called Pruviniano until the year 1177, an ancient toponym that the winery wanted to celebrate and preserve in the name of the selection.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a careful harvest conducted between September and the beginning of October. The harvested clusters undergo crushing and destemming, followed by a ten-day maceration enriched by specific scheduled punching down to optimise extraction. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures between twenty-five and twenty-eight degrees, culminating in a complete malolactic fermentation, which is essential for giving the organoleptic profile greater roundness. Finally, the wine undergoes a completely natural stabilisation phase and a maturation period in stainless steel and subsequently in the bottle for a total of approximately twelve months, reaching a long aromatic persistence before being served.
History and curiosities
The Pruviniano Collection was born from the ongoing research of the Domìni Veneti brand, a magnificent project dedicated to the enhancement of the terroirs. This wine originates from vineyards located in the Marano di Valpolicella area, in Veneto. The true historical curiosity lies in the name of this selection: these ancient and evocative territories were in fact originally called Pruviniano until 1177. This fascinating tribute fully celebrates the deep roots of a Valpolicella Classica that has always been dedicated to the total winemaking excellence of the entire Verona territory.

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
