2024 · Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore

Luciano Arduini is a family-run winery in Valpolicella, Veneto, founded in the 1940s and now managed by Luciano Arduini and his son Andrea, with Silvana overseeing administration and Sofia hospitality. The estate works approximately 7 hectares of vineyards and is known for Amarone and Recioto della Valpolicella made using the traditional appassimento method. Grapes are harvested by hand and collected in wooden crates, with a low-intervention approach and minimal additives. Selected fruit undergoes around four months of withering in wooden boxes, followed by aging in French, American and Slavonian oak barrels. No formal sustainability certifications are noted.
