Our idea about wine

We tell our wines through the eyes and heart of those who produce them

Looking at the valleys of Negrar and Marano, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, people are charmed
by the rows of vines, the old olive trees and cherry trees: an amazing landscape designed by men.  

Our story is bond to this land: a unique hillside region with an heritage that Villa Spinosa wants to defend
and preserve by respecting nature, traditions and patient work in the vineyard.

Our love for this land, our passion by making our cru vineyards Jago, Figari and Costa del Buso express their best
and our work in the cellar, all contributes to the character and personality of our wines. That is a sign of tipicity and quality for each wine of our family, from Valpolicella to Superiore and Ripasso, from Amarone to Recioto.

 

A wine speaks for itself not only in the glass

Life in the vineyard

a vineyard is a demanding boss paying us back generously during the harvest

Viticulture in this region is dated back to old times and every winemaker is the custodian
of a cultural and historical heritage, making most of the Valpolicella's identity.
 
Every area, every cru vineyard is a microcosm bond to the changes in the soil composition, the winds,
the sun exposure, the wine making decisions from the clone to the pruning: a sacred alliance called TERROIR!

We have been so lucky to grow grapes for years on 20 hectars of vineyards spreading over three microzones,
rated among the top areas, able to express features and shades of this territory:  JAGO, FIGARI, COSTA DEL BUSO.


For every vineyard there is a wine: we work to emphazise what characterizes or differs each cru.

Growing systems

Soil composition is important in order to decide the growing system on a vineyard.

Work in the vineyard

Work in the vineyard

The life cycle of vines and grapes needs a lot of care and handy work, know how and a deep knowledge of the territory.

Life in the cellar

wine doesn't get old, but matures over time

Some wines need time, they open up slowly and they develop later on in the glass.
They aren't meant for guys in a hurry! They are Amarone Guglielmi di Jago 10, 15 and 20 years, aged for so long.
There are also wines telling about sour cherries and spices, about freshness and identity such as Figari Valpolicella Classico Superiore.

We take great care of every aspect of wine life, from the harvest to the wine making. 

The grapes of every vineyard, with a different sun exposure and soil composition,
are harvested, fermented and aged separately to get the best of their own features.
That is why our wines are so rich in expression, trying to make their own way.
Sometimes they need to be followed, sometimes they just need to rest alone and meditate. 

That is the great job of wine makers, who have to understand the right timing
for rakings, aging in tonneaux or large casks and finally the botlling of every single wine.

Crushing & fermenting

Crushing & fermenting

Every vineyard has a different sun exposure and soil composition. In order to save and express the terroir identity, grapes are harvested and fermented separately.

Drying of grapes

Drying of grapes

The indigenous varieties of the Valpolicella are ideal for the drying. That's a successful process making our land well known.

Aging

Aging

The aging in barrels helps us to raise the peculiarities of our wines. The 19th century cellars are equipped with barrels and casks of precious wood.

Amarone

Amarone

Amarone della Valpolicella is one of the most famous Italian red wines, produced only in the Valpolicella, in the province of Verona.

The Ripasso technique

The Ripasso technique

The process of letting the basic Valpolicella referment on the pomaces left from the production of Recioto and Amarone gives character to the wine, makes it smoother and richer in scents of fruits and spices.

Work in the cellar

Work in the cellar

The care for the grapes in the vineyard goes on in the cellar: people work together, by respecting and praising what nature put in the berries.
