ROBERTO MAZZI & FIGLI
Veneto, Italy
This estate is located on the hills of Negrar, one of the 5 municipalities of the historical area for the production of Valpolicella and Amarone wines within the province of Verona.
The Mazzi family has a long tradition in viticulture and winemaking since the early 1900s. In 1960 Roberto Mazzi, a trained agronomst, started bottling the wines of the vineyards standing on the hills of Calcarole, Castel, Poiega and Villa. His two sons, Antonio and Stefano, are now at the helm and continue the tradition of making excellent Valpolicella Classico, Amarone and Recioto della Valpolicella.
The vineyards extend 7 hectares, all within the Negrar valley and within the Valpolicella Classica zone, and it is divided into 4 vineyards, which are among the best crus of the appellation. The wines of the Mazzi family reflect the best characteristics of this wonderful terroir. Finesse and fruit are enhanced rather than structure. They are extremely pleasant and drinkable even after many years.
