Luigi Righetti

Valpolicella Amarone producer in Veneto, focused on traditional dried-grape reds.

Luigi Righetti produces Amarone della Valpolicella in Veneto, the northern Italian region celebrated for its dried-grape reds. The winery's portfolio centers on this demanding style, where Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes are dried before fermentation, concentrating their structure and depth. The G&J Selection Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, built from Corvina and Rondinella, represents the upper tier of the range. The core Amarone della Valpolicella Classico blends all three traditional varieties, while Capitel de Roari focuses on Corvina with Rondinella support. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. Amarone demands patience and food—the appassimento method yields wines of considerable weight and dried-fruit character, with the tannins and alcohol that define the category.
