Borghetti Giampiero

In San Pietro in Cariano, within the confines of Valpolicella Classica, Giampiero Borghetti embodies eight centuries of winemaking tradition from the Fraccaroli family. The underground cellar, expanded in the 1980s by his father Paolo, is where the two DOCG denominations of the house, Amarone and Recioto della Valpolicella, take shape, crafted from air-dried Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. These are two facets of the same appassimento process: the Amarone, dry and powerful; the Recioto, sweet and concentrated. Both are produced using classic methods and a personal touch that has been proven in competitions. The proprietary labels Le 4 Vigne and I Tre Santi encapsulate this experience, blending tradition and precision without succumbing to repetition. The story is completed in the cellar: booking a visit with a tasting means descending into the underground cellar and following, glass after glass, the journey from air-dried grapes to the two denominations, grasping the philosophy that unites the long family legacy with contemporary craftsmanship.
