Located within Valgatara, in the heart of Valpolicella Classico, the Luigi Righetti estate is small to mid-sized, family run winery. Since 1909, when Angelo Righetti first earned a reputation as an outstanding winemaker, the family has focussed on producing quality wines offering extremely good value. Righetti’s wines exhibit an exceptional balance between fruit, wood aging, acidity and alcohol. The result is a line of wines that have good aging potential, but are available for early consumption as well. The most exciting tradition to evolve from the Veneto region is the process used to dry grapes prior to pressing. Amarone and “Campolieti”, the ripasso Valpolicella, have traditionally been the products to benefit from this process.

The Veneto is a northeastern Italian region, bordering the Dolomite mountains and the Adriatic Sea. It was part of the powerful, independent Venetian Republic for more than 1,000 years, during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Veneto is a recognised viticultural area where a lot of succulent wine are made such as the Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Molinara blend.
