Cantina Valpolicella Negrar

Established in 1933 on the outskirts of Verona, the Negrar cooperative unites two hundred and forty members across seven hundred hectares of Valpolicella Classica hills. Its work centers around a single denomination, Custoza DOC, where Cortese, Garganega, and Trebbiano Toscano yield white wines articulated in multiple styles: the base version, superiore, and riserva. This is a scale of increasing ambition, starting from immediate freshness and reaching expressions designed for aging. The cooperative dimension is key to understanding it. Each bottle encapsulates the work of many hands, from the viticulturists who tend the vineyards to the technicians who oversee their transformation in the cellar: knowledge passed down through generations, yet applied with contemporary methods that anchor the company to the Veronese territory. Visitors to Negrar can see firsthand how a structure of this scale brings together hundreds of suppliers around a single wine profile, and taste the three expressions of Custoza aligned side by side.
