Faccioli
Faccioli produces wines from Valpolicella, the Veneto region of Northern Italy renowned for its distinctive dried-grape reds. The winery's flagship Maral Amarone della Valpolicella Classico blends Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella—the traditional trio of the zone—into a wine that has drawn recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Decanter. Alongside the Amarone, Faccioli makes Bardolino, a lighter expression of the region's signature grapes, and Bardolino Chiaretto, a rosé-styled blend of Rondinella, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines reflect the Valpolicella terroir: structured reds with the weight and complexity that come from the region's appassimento method, where grapes are dried before fermentation to concentrate flavor and alcohol.
