The forty hectares of the winery founded by Michele Castellani, now managed by Sergio Castellani and his wife Maria together with their three children Michele, Martina and Mara, testify how love and passion for local grapes are translated into the joy of enjoying meal and dessert wines with excellent organoleptic characteristics, a strong personality and unique traits of their kind, borrowed from a terroir valued in all its characteristics.
This is how the wines “I Castei” and “Ca' del Pipa” were born, ready to enhance the food and wine combinations suggested by the respective technical data sheets, from Amarone Classico Valpolicella Cinque Stelle — with which it is recommended to accompany roasts, game and grilled meat — to the IGT Corvina Veronese, which goes well with red meat and cheese platters; from Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG — suitable for dry pasta and chocolate desserts — to the classic method sparkling wine, ideal for appetizers
.
The founding nucleus of the winery was built in 1945, in Valgatara. We are in the province of Verona, in an inhabited center with ancient origins, a fact to be considered to evaluate the attractiveness that these lands exercised since prehistoric times: today, the town of Marano di Valpolicella is known for the production of Recioto, Amarone and Valpolicella, a trio of fragrances that we can also find in the
company's wine shop.
More than seventy years ago, the project was limited to being a small family-run winemaking laboratory; now, that same reality is known internationally and manages all production phases internally, from harvest to bottling, with particular attention to the drying of
the grapes.
Awarded by Wine Spectator since 2003, the company earned four entries in the same year in the Gold Guide “I Vini di Veronelli”, two of which also have a place in the Yearbook of the Best Italian Wines published by Luca Maroni (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 1999 “Campo Casalin”, Recioto della Valpolicella 2000 “Campo Casalin”, both DOC).
Appointed by Wine Enthusiast since 2009 and by Wine Advocate since 2013, the Castellani winery is a guarantee of excellence to which to dedicate
more than one toast.
