Winery Tours at Fratelli Vogadori
Fratelli Vogadori winery is on the eastern side of the Negrar valley. It is just outstide the first town of the Valpolicella Classica that you encounter coming from Verona. The position on the hillside perfectly set in the landscape. From the tasting room you will enjoy an enchanting view of the village below and the slopes covered with vineyards.
The winery is completely surrounded by vines and olive trees. Here you will discover the typical grape varieties of Valpolicella. You will also found the typical vine growing methods: Guyot and the Pergola Veronese, each with its specific strengths.
Next step is the wine-making area, with modern steel tanks where the must transforms into wine. Here we will go into the details of the Ripasso wine method.
Then we move on to the cellar. Fratelli Vogadori uses a skillful combination of first, second and third passage French oak barrels. In this way they create a tailor-made aging for various wine styles.
We then go up to the fruttaio. It is the attic where the grapes selected for Recioto and Amarone remain for three months so that the liquids evaporate and sugar and aromas concentrate. From October to December you can see the fruttaio full of grapes drying. A very unique process in the wine making world.
From the drying room you walk into the tasting room. It has one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Valpolicella.
You will try a selection of all the classic Fratelli Vogadori wines including 2 Amarones, the Classico and the Riserva Forlago. Together with the wine you will have a welcome snack of bread and the extra virgin olive oil produced by the company.

Amarone Riserva
La star della cantina è lo speciale Amarone Riserva. Prende il nome da una piccola porzione di vigneto, Forlago, con esposizione ed elevazione ideali e un blend di uve che includono piccole quantità di vecchie varietà autoctone ormai quasi dimenticate: Oseleta, Forsellina, Dindarella, Pelara. Viene fatto solo nelle migliori annate e tenuto più a lungo in affinamento.
È un Amarone di grande potenza, morbidezza e complessità, con spiccate note di vaniglia, cacao, caffé in grani. Un vero vino da meditazione.
