Az. Agr. Corte Gonella di Costato Giorgio, Giuseppe e Paolo s.s.

In Negrar di Valpolicella, Corte Gonella entrusts its vineyards to a double pergola training system, a choice that reduces soil humidity and keeps the hanging bunches visible for better selection. Fieldwork is manual and precise: suckering, green pruning, and winter pruning modulate the canopy, phytosanitary treatments are kept to a minimum, and inter-row cultivation replaces synthetic herbicides. Production focuses on two denominations, both `DOCG`: `Amarone` and `Recioto della Valpolicella`. The grapes destined for these wines—`Corvina Veronese`, `Corvinone`, and `Rondinella`—are harvested exclusively by hand and rest on dedicated racks, where the `appassimento` (drying process) determines the concentration and destiny of each batch. It is here that environmental respect and quality enter into dialogue, not as a declaration but as a sequence of actions between the vine and the glass. The result is a Valpolicella interpreted with a strict agronomic method, where the selection of the bunch is as crucial as the transformation in the winery.
