The mission of the Cantina Valpolicella Negrar is still now to increase the value of its members activity, producing excellent wines and promoting culture and knowledge of viticulture and oenology.
Today the company advises and coordinate the activity of around 200 grape growers, across a total of 500 hectares, all located on the hillsides of the Valpolicella Classico region to the north west of Verona.
Growers are encouraged to cultivate their vines with maximum respect for the natural environment and to safeguard biodiversity. The Cantina and its members have also been able to work together to identify sites suitable for single vineyard wines and to produce special selections and even individual “cru” wines. Experience gained over many years has allowed us to use our winemaking skills to develop a range of various Amarone, Reciotos and Valpolicellas. Historically the winery has also worked hand in hand with growers in other famous viticultural zones near Verona, which allows the Cantina to offer other high quality wines such as Soave, Bianco di Custoza and Bardolino.
Total production of the Cantina is today over 8 millions bottles per year, obtained by more than 60.000 quintals (13 million lb.) grapes. The winery has a total capacity for oak ageing of around 12.000 hl.
We use the neme “Domini Veneti” for the best wines selected from our own production. This range is the result of a long term project, looking at both viticulture and winemaking to add value and improve the quality produced fro local soils. The name was chosen to refer back to expansion of the Republic of Venice in around 500 AD, when the lands around Valpolicella came under its rule. Today, tis “golden age” is reflected in the quality and image of the wines Domini Veneti, through which we aim to offer our customers all over the world a taste of the best of our region.
