Mountain winemaking

A century of experience and the cultural background the Accordini family carries with it, allows them to refer on a daily basis to these qualities in order to produce grapes native to Valpolicella. Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grow in the vineyards high up in the hills where the grapes find mainly limestone and skeletal soil. These conditions lower the yield, but improve the quality. The milder climate compared to the plains and the high temperature variation influences the ripening of the fruit, encouraging the accumulation of particular colorants and aromatic substances, above all spicy notes, which make these wines unique and unmistakable.

“Il Fornetto”

This vineyard, planted by Stefano in 1975, contains grape varieties strictly local and grown in Verona pergolas. The soil which is deep with a high clay content has a good active layer and is under vines that are over 40 years old. These plants have stabilised over time creating a perfect vegetative-production balance, and the deep roots guarantee continuous sustenance even in the driest of periods. The combination of these factors make the grape production perfectly balanced in respect to the leaf area of the vines, a rare condition which exists only in the territories best known for wine production.
