About the Producer

In 1989 Cantina Valpolicella Negrar launched an articulated Quality Project: first it identified particularly suitable areas of Valpolicella, putting in a great deal of hard work alongside the grape-growers in order to obtain grapes of extraordinary quality. Their careful selection led to the creation of important crus and a line dedicated to the Domìni Veneti brand.

From a simple product line, today Domìni Veneti has become a veritable brand producing very prestigious Veronese wines, most of them cru, DOC, DOCG and IGT.

The name Domìni Veneti refers to the territories belonging to the Serenissima Republic of Venice of the 1500s, when it was at its largest; Valpolicella was an integral part of the same. The splendour of that era is evoked in the values of Domìni Veneti, whose production is sought-after and exclusive thanks to a heartfelt, passionate and incessant winemaking-oenological project that aims to enhance the marvellous typical wines of their territory.

Vineyard

Located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area, on dry terraces. Altitude from 250 to 450 metres above sea level. Exposure southeast and southwest. Type of terrain: very varied, mainly clayey-limey, partly limestone, partly of volcanic origin. Vineyard grassing. Training system: double pergola. Age of producing vines: from 15 to 25 years.

Tasting Notes

Colour: bright ruby red. Nose: intense and persistent, with fruity aromas of cherry and plum, floral notes of violets and a touch of spiciness from black pepper. Domini Veneti Valpolicella is fresh and fruity, with a poised balance between structure and body on the palate, with a harmonious finish brought about by perfect acidity and elegant tannins on the palate.
