Fratelli Giuliari
Fratelli Giuliari works in Valpolicella, the Veneto region of northern Italy where dried-grape winemaking defines the terroir. The winery's core expressions rest on the classic Valpolicella blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara—grapes that yield wines of structure and depth when concentrated through appassimento methods. La Piccola Botte Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, the flagship, marries the weight of dried fruit with the tannin architecture expected of the appellation's most serious wines. The Recioto della Valpolicella, sweeter in profile, shows the same grape foundation and the same commitment to extraction. A Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore rounds the portfolio, offering the mid-weight intensity that the ripasso technique—a second maceration on Amarone skins—is designed to achieve. Wine Enthusiast has rated across the range. The wines reflect the discipline of a region where technique and grape selection determine quality.
