Our company is the birthplace of the Amarone della Valpolicella, a symbol of quality in our region. In fact, we invented the name “Amarone,” meaning “greatly bitter,” in 1936 & were the first company trading this wine with this name. This wine is the best-known & most representative product of our company, thanks to its absolute expression of balance, with complex & utterly satisfying elegance & structure.
