Sprawling across 14 hectares, the winery primarily cultivates native grape varieties, with the focus on Amarone, Recioto, and Valpolicella Superiore. Their signature Amarone della Valpolicella, characterized by its finely balanced sweet-bitter profile, is a remarkable interpretation of the local terroir and Roccolo Grassi’s conscientious winemaking process.
