Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Villabella is a family-owned producer in the Valpolicella Classico zone, where traditional appassimento (dried-grape) winemaking defines the region's identity. This 2019 Amarone draws from their vineyard holdings of Corvina, Rondinella, and potentially Molinara—the classic Valpolicella blend. The estate works rolling hillsides with volcanic and limestone-based soils, a terroir that supports the thick-skinned varieties necessary for successful drying. Villabella's grapes are harvested at peak ripeness, then dried on wooden racks throughout autumn and early winter, a process that concentrates sugars and phenolics. The 2019 vintage benefited from warm summer conditions and moderate autumn rainfall, enabling quality drying conditions.

Vinification

Dried grapes were destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, their elevated sugar levels—often reaching 30+ Brix after appassimento—yielding high alcohol (typically 15–16%). Fermentation proceeded in temperature-controlled stainless steel or large wood vessels, lasting several weeks to ensure complete conversion. The wine then aged in large oak casks, allowing the dried-fruit complexity and raisin characters to integrate and mature. Élevage extended typically three to four years, during which tannins softened and secondary flavours developed. Bottling occurred after this maturation, with minor sulphite additions.

About this Wine

Veneto

Veneto in the north east of Italy, is the 8th largest region in Italy in terms of land mass, and over 90,000 hectares are under vine, of which some 35,000 hectares are DOC, making Veneto the largest producer of DOC wines in Italy. Venetian viticulture dates back to the Roman times, but phylloxera and world wars saw large cooperatives come to the region taking over many smaller vineyards.

The region is protected from the harsh European climate by the Alps, in the north of Veneto, though the cool climate there is ideal for producing Garganega, the main variety in the white wine Soave. To the east, along the Adriatic coast the renowned Valpolicella, Amarone and Bardolino DOC reds are produced. Reds are often blended with multiple grapes although straight varietals like Cabernet Franc can be very enjoyable.

The plains of Piave produce vast quantities of wine, rather than necessarily producing the highest quality wines and up in the Conegliano hills to the north is home to the Prosecco variety, which is growing in popularity, seen as a bargain alternative to Champagne.
