Stefano Accordini

Valpolicella Amarone producer crafting concentrated, structured reds from dried grapes.

Stefano Accordini produces Amarone della Valpolicella Classico in Veneto, the northeastern Italian region celebrated for its dried-grape reds. The winery's flagship expressions—Vigneto Il Fornetto Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, and Il Fornetto Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Classico—blend Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara in varying proportions. These wines reflect the appassimento method, in which grapes are dried before fermentation to concentrate sugars and tannins, yielding the rich, structured character Amarone is known for. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have rated the winery's portfolio, with the Vigneto Il Fornetto Riserva earning particular recognition among prestige critics. The wines embody the Valpolicella tradition of depth and complexity, balancing power with the subtle dried-fruit and spice notes that define the region's finest expressions.
