Cantina Nepos Villae – Amarone of Valpolicella Classic D.O.C.G. – Campo di Villa – Avvenice

Cantina Nepos Villae – Classic Valpolicella – Wine Carved in The Stone

A territory steeped in history and humanity, marked by small stone villages and silent districts, ancient fountains and marble wash-houses. Dorsals crossed by long dry stone walls, the marogna, carved between marl and rock, in support of vineyards, olive trees and cherry trees. Ancient Romanesque churches raise the bell towers beyond the gaze. They mark the territory and merge with towers and ruins of medieval castles. Capitals marked by ancestral frescoes, remain a sentinel of the human soul. Valpolicella tells the silences and throb of a never tame humanity.

Amarone of Valpolicella Classic D.O.C.G. – Campo di Villa

Our identifying cru. The vineyard teacher from which everything started and where everything continues. The field of grapes that rises between the marls of the ancient district of Villa. An ancient vineyard that overlooks the Negrar Valley from above. Campo di Villa is a treasure trove of values ​​and affections. The excellence of our family history, the pulsating soul of a style of austere elegance and kindness.

Campo di Villa represents the fusion between the Risorgimento’s historical ideals of the founder Giovan Battista Quintarelli and the young, overwhelming passion for innovation of his great-grandson Francesco. Contemporaneity that can not transcend the history and tradition of these ancient walls. The historical Valpolicella that looks beyond its borders.
