Brunelli is a family-owned estate in Veneto's Valpolicella Classica, founded in 1936 by Angelo Brunelli and now managed by his grandson Luigi. With a history in the area dating to the 1700s, the winery remains small-scale, focusing on limited production of Amarone and other traditional wines. Vineyards on limestone-rich soils are farmed sustainably, holding SQNPI certification and using solar power for self-sufficiency. Hand-harvesting, natural grape drying, and aging in an underground cellar reflect a philosophy that balances respect for tradition with innovation. The family welcomes visitors to their historic farmhouse, Corte Cariano, offering tours and tastings that highlight their connection to the land and craft.
