Corte Figaretto is a small winery in the heart of Valpolicella wine region, the Valpantena valley.

Sustainability is the key word of our winery, that’s why we are part of the Valpolicella RRR project: Reduce, Retrench, Respect. Since many years we don’t use herbicides anymore, there is more control and respect for water and for soils.

Our winery works with the system of vinification per gravity. This means, we don’t use pumps in the time between grape and most. Indeed, this phase is very critic for the formation of turbidity and this method respects much more the berries.

The berries are not crushed and only the stalk is taken away, the berry remains intact and falls for gravity in the tank. Here, berries break alone with the natural movements of fermentation which is made by spontaneous yeasts. 

At the beginning our family had a very small property, only four hectars and they were located around the winery.

Now, step by step, we manage 10 hectars in Valpolicella Valpantena. The new vineyards are located in the small villages around the winery and the different soils and expositions confer to the wines different nuances by the tasting.

We want to produce fully recognizable wines, representative of the identity of Valpolicella area.

The wines have to be fine and elegant, easy drinking but with character. Indeed, they have to develop and embody the fingerprint of the local climate, soils and grape varieties.
