Az. Agr. Colle Cerè di Cesare Righetti

In Negrar, amidst the hills of Verona's Valpolicella, Cesare Righetti's winery cultivates the area's indigenous grapes—Corvina Veronese and Rondinella—to create two expressions that share the same territorial grammar but speak in opposing registers. Amarone is born from appassimento (drying of grapes) and an aging process that allows no haste: twenty-four months during which the wine finds structure and depth. Recioto follows the same path of concentrated grapes but retains the fruit's sugar, concluding on the sweet side of the regulations. The two DOCG wines thus tell the two stories of Valpolicella's appassimento, one austere and the other sweet, both rooted in the same care for the vineyard and its long rhythms. This attention extends beyond the bottle: the conscious recycling of all packaging signals an approach that considers the fruit and its environmental legacy as part of the same gesture. Not a winery open to visitors, but one that entrusts the wine with the task of speaking for Negrar and its essence.
