Brigaldara Valpolicella (750ml)

Purchased by Renzo Cesari in 1928, his passion was viticulture. That passion stretched across generations when the winery changed hands; it was passed down to his grandson Stefano, who built a relationship with Roberto Ferrarini- former oenologist and professor of oenology at University of Verona, considered by many as one of the most important innovators in the history of Amarone and Valpolicella.   Stefano, former President of the Valpolicella Region Growers Association, dedicated his time during his presidency to improving Valpolicella through low yields, improved viticultural practices, careful clone selection, and modern winemaking techniques. His focus is on farming traditional grapes of Valpolicella Classico DOC, while emphasizing high-quality Corvina over Rondinella and Molinara, on his 47 ha (120 ha in total, the rest mainly consisting of olive groves, crops, pastures, and woods) of estate vineyards near the village of San Floriano- the heart of the region. 

Vineyard work is carried out manually by a team of agronomists who work shoulder to shoulder with oenologists.  Every decision is made taking into account the importance of preserving biodiversity and respecting the vegetative-productive balance of each ecosystem.  Prompt interventions, accurate operations and a drastic reduction of treatments in the vineyard guarantee a sustainable long-term vision for Brigaldara’s vineyards, where pesticides and synthetic products are banned, in favor of a reasoned use of sulfur, copper and pelleted manure.
