Description
What kind of wine it is
Valpolicella Classico Superiore by Domini Veneti is a still red wine with a defined character. This blend combines Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. In the glass, it releases aromas of wild berries and hints of violet, enriched by balsamic notes and a spicy background of black pepper and liquorice. On the palate, it is lively, supported by a fine tannic structure. The sip is fresh and mineral, finishing with a persistent finale recalling medicinal herbs. It pairs ideally with traditional Veronese dishes, roasts and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
It originates in the Marano di Valpolicella area, where the vines grow at an altitude of about 200-250 metres with south-east and south-west exposure. The soils have a silty-clay composition with calcareous veins, ideal for giving the wine savouriness and freshness. The name pays homage to the history of the area: Pruviniano was in fact the ancient name of this valley until 1177. Domini Veneti carefully selects local grapes to deliver a faithful and balanced expression of Classic Valpolicella.
How it is produced
The process begins at the end of September with a rigorous manual harvest. Once destemmed and crushed, the grapes ferment at a controlled temperature. The maceration phase lasts about ten days and involves regular punch-downs to delicately extract aromas and colour. This is followed by complete malolactic fermentation, essential for softening the wine's structure. The initial ageing in steel preserves the fragrance of the fruit, completed by a period of about twelve months resting in the bottle to achieve perfect balance.
History and Curiosities
The Domini Veneti project enhances the vocation of the Marano area, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. This elegant wine is born from selected grapes to highlight the local terroirs, the result of the expert research of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar, a historic establishment founded in 1933. The name celebrates the ancient designation of the valley, known as Pruviniano until 1177, thus indissolubly linking every sip to its land of origin. Part of the exclusive Pruviniano Collection, the wine embodies a centuries-old winemaking tradition, offering a harmonious and refined glass.

The spirit is the same as that of the visionary cooperative founded in 1933 by the seven businessmen from Verona, just as the very same principles guide our work on a daily basis today and inspire every new project: initiative, reciprocity and collaboration.
Generations that work side by side: this is the strength of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar. It is the same strength that has enabled us to stride through history and become the benchmark producer when it comes to Amarone, Ripasso and the technique of Appassimento.
Energy and creativity on the one hand; on the other, the wisdom that comes from the experience of many vintages, leading to a generational renewal that takes place while we work together. Read more
