Antica Valpolicella
Antica Valpolicella is a vineyard, wine, and hospitality project based in the heart of Valpolicella, in the province of Verona. They produce wine and olive oil, and run a Bed & Breakfast in a historic palazzo in Verona’s old town. Their philosophy centers on expressing the land, respecting nature, and keeping interventions minimal.
Origins & Vision
The estate was founded in 1981. In 2015, they started producing wine in their own small cellar, aiming to tell the story of their terroir without compromise.
Their commitments include: no synthetic chemicals in the vineyards, and no chemical products in the cellar except very small amounts of sulphites when strictly necessary.
Land & Farming
Located in Fumane in Valpolicella, in the area called Val di Lena. The landscape features vineyards, olive groves, and cherry orchards. The microclimate of the valley adds character to their wines.
Farming practices are natural and organic; they strive for minimal intervention and full respect for the local ecosystem.
Products & Style
Their production includes red wines typical of Valpolicella, plus olive oil. They also offer accommodation through a B&B located in a noble palace in Verona.
Wines are crafted to reflect freshness, clarity, and the connection between vineyard, soil, and climate. The style avoids over-extraction or heavy manipulation, letting the grapes and terroir speak.
