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.

Years of research and experimentation to identify the most suitable grape varieties have allowed the creation of this remarkable red wine — well‑structured, highly harmonious, with an intense and complex bouquet of red and black wild berries, spices and dried herbs. On the palate, notes of black fruit jam and ginger prevail; its tannins are perfectly balanced by natural roundness.

Winemaking

Vinification takes place in tanks of up to 100 hl with automatic pump‑overs, ensuring high extraction and minimal loss of berry quality. Maceration continues for about 15 days at controlled temperature. After several rackings and natural clarification, part of the wine is aged in large oak casks and the remaining 30% in new medium‑toasted French oak barriques. Finally, the wine undergoes at least 6 months of bottle ageing.

Food pairing

Perfect with all types of meat — from prosciutto to game, from boiled cuts to richly flavoured dishes. Serving temperature 18–20°C.
