THE TERRITORIES
On the highest hills of Valpolicella Classica, in Marano, the vineyards occupy the highest belt of arable land before the extreme limit of the mountain. An environmental context that is the premise for growing several autochthonous and distinct grape varieties, in perfect exposure to the sun. For human beings the only thing left to do is to respect the slow and demanding rites of growing grapes and making wine, following the teachings of tradition. The drying of the grapes takes place naturally in the fruit drying area adjacent to the wine cellar.
THE TERRITORIES
There are 8 ancient fortifications that dominate the land from above. The valley lies in a tight gorge between the rocky bastions of Monte Baldo and the Lessinia Mountains. And the limestone rocks reverberate upon the vineyards’ light, crystalline by the strong prevailing winds. A precious reflection! And the daylight hours are extended, favoring the ripening of the grapes, while glacial moraines baptize gravely, draining soil, which is ancient and precious.
Four hundred years of winegrowing, with infinite passion for the finished product. In the Adige Valley, the history of the Armani family and that of viticulture have been going on together since December 7th, 1607. It is a collective story, which from that moment onwards bears the name of a family.
From the constant study of the history and origins of a place and its wines, to researching the local autochthonous varieties, the recent history of the Albino Armani winery stands for respect for the territory and its people. We believe that research is the process necessary if one wishes to improve the land, and create a product which constitutes its identity.
Today we continue our quest, imagining an increasingly sustainable future, where the quality of our product is the perfect consequence of knowledge and responsibility. Because tradition alone is not enough.
