CORTE FORNALEDO

Nestled within the serene municipality of Marano, high above the historical village of Purano lies Corte Fornaledo. Just a brief car journey away from Purano reveals this secluded treasure trove, with an attached vineyard showcasing the deep rooted heritage found throughout the Venetian territory. Here guests will be treated to stunning vistas over rolling landscapes, not least among them being the scenic valley known locally as Valle dei Pràni - widely regarded amongst locals as one of the prettiest spots across all of Valpolicella. At Corte Fornaledo they produce fine vintages paying tribute to those long gone forebears; these esteemed bottles grace tables at many top Italian eateries. In fact, much like the vineyards themselves, the main building here underwent extensive renovations back during the sixteenth century when such was fashionable due to the prevailing renaissance architecture trends. Now under proud ownership of the Borghetti clan (who first set foot upon these lands way back in the nineteenth century), today’s operation continues unabatedly committed to both soil and vintage alike. It should come as no surprise then that Corte Fornaledo places great value on maintaining complete autonomy free from big market forces so allowing true connoisseurship unencumbered access to authentic pleasure derived directly through consumption of our products. It goes without saying therefore that each individual bottling bears unmistakable hallmarks stamped indelibly onto every single vessel – testament indeed to unwavering devotion towards crafting truly exceptional tipples! Their signature offerings comprise notably acclaimed varieties namely Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Docg, Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Doc, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Doc & finally but certainly not lastingly less important Recoto della Valpolicella Classico Docg. All bearing witness unequivocally to passionate craftsmanship imbued deeply woven right into very fabric defining essence characterising entire production process underpinning success story unfolding daily beneath sun kissed skies surrounding enchanting setting home Court Fornaledo Winery itself.
