Corteforte

Valpolicella Amarone from Veneto's traditional dried-grape method.

Corteforte produces Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from the heart of Veneto's most prestigious red wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on the traditional blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara—grapes dried to concentrate their sugars before fermentation, a method that defines Valpolicella's character. The Dea Lualda Amarone della Valpolicella Classico and Vigneti di Osan Amarone della Valpolicella Classico represent the winery's core offerings, alongside a Riserva expression. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff. Amarone demands patience: the dried-grape process yields dense, structured wines built for aging, with layers of dark fruit, spice, and the subtle bitterness that gives the style its name.
