Since 1956, the Aldegheri family has been working in the heart of Valpolicella, driven by passion, dedication, and a continuous commitment to refining the winemaking craft that has made this territory renowned worldwide. Each family member contributes through a distinct role: Lorenzo oversees viticulture and vinification, Adriano manages administration and the development of innovative production systems, while their cousin Vincenzo leads the commercial activities and public relations. The second generation also plays a vital part, bringing fresh perspectives and modern expertise. The family spirit of the Aldegheri estate, combined with a perfect balance of technology, respect for nature, meticulous grape selection, and constant improvement of winemaking techniques, has enabled the creation of wines that embody the soul of the land and offer moments of genuine pleasure.

From the I Lastari vineyard, located on the hills of Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, come grapes with unique characteristics — all expressed in this classic red wine, crafted for moments of genuine friendship. Bright aromas of cherry and marasca emerge from its complexity, followed by the perfect harmony of a full, robust body. Colour, aroma and flavour intensity resemble a wine meant for ageing, yet its fruit, roundness and balance make it delightful even when enjoyed young.

Winemaking

After crushing and destemming, the must and skins ferment for 10 days in temperature‑controlled tanks (20–28 °C). This is followed by racking and clarification. In autumn, malolactic fermentation takes place. At the beginning of spring, the wine is racked again and allowed to mature — first in steel, then in bottle.

Food pairing

Ideal with light meals, excellent with red meat, game and flavourful cheeses.
Serving temperature 18–20°C.
