Fattoria Vaona

The company is located in the municipal district of Marano, more precisely in Valgatara in the area of Paverno, in the heart of the historic Valpolicella region.

The Vaona family members have always been vine-dressers and now with Alberto they are continuing a path of renovation, without overlooking those ancient values that characterize a philosophy devoted to quality production.

Today we discover all the members of the family who dedicate themselves to the different business tasks with passion and sacrifice. A special mention should be deserved to the meticulousness with which the grapes are positioned to dry on racks for the production of RECIOTO and AMARONE wines. The renovation of the cellars, carried out according to functional needs, exploits, for the different processing phases, the natural force of gravity, thus avoiding the excessive use of machines (such as pumps) and allowing for the maximum integrity of the primary product.

The farm spreads on an area of approximately 10 hectares planted with vines. The vineyards, distributed over optimal hilly locations, are at an altitude that ranges from 200 to 250 meters above sea level and enjoy an optimal exposure to the west, thus allowing a favorable irradiation in the phases during which the grapes need such a factor. The growing methods used are: the traditional bower method and the more recent Guyot method. Particular care is given to a suitable density of implantation (3200-3500 stubs per hectare).
