This family-run winery was established in the 1950s, and farm their vineyards on organic principles, although it's not certified as such.

Rich aromas of concentrated dried red fruit compote, dried herbal notes, powerful full-bodied pallet, yet smooth, rich and satisfying on the palate.

All this is tempered by a vibrant streak, so the wine is really well-balanced.

    • Description

      Grapes are sourced from the north of Verona, in the hilly vineyards with medium density soil tending to be calcareous, situated in the villages of Negrar, Fumane, San Pietro In Cariano and Marano. Corvina (40%), Rondinella (30%), Corvinone (30%).

      The “Ripasso� technique is a very old traditional winemaking process established in Verona which is done by refermenting the Valpolicella wine on Recioto and Amarone pressed grapes. This unique 'double ferment' adds flavour, complexity, power and body to the wine.

    Italo Cescon

    The Italo Cescon winery was established in 1957 in the Fruili region of north-eastern Italy by its founder Italo Cescon. It is now managed by his wife Chiara and 3 children Gloria, Graziella and Domenico. In 1954, Italo Cescon chose to follow the tradition of his father Domenico who has founded a small cellar and was a small producer of wine for some families of his little village. In the area of Doc Piave, they have 115 hectares of vineyards, of which 80 ha of vineyards are located in the Eastern Veneto region, 15 ha in Friuli Venezia Giulia and 15 ha on sunny hills of Valdobbiadene. They are divided into 6 different estates. The area has different climates that allow the winery to produce wines of outstanding quality. The soils consist of alluvial sands due to the Piave river frequently flooding the fields and vineyards during the centuries and are wetted by deep watercourses. This gives wines their unique flavours.
