Villa Girardi is a family-run estate founded in 1986 and directed by Franco Tommasi. It is located in the historic Valpolicella production zone northwest of Verona, in the valley connecting San Pietro in Cariano and Fumane. The estate centers on a typical Venetian villa designed by Luigi Trezza, dating to the late 1700s, set within a large park with centuries-old trees. It is surrounded by 30 hectares of estate-owned vineyards. The limestone-rich soil and mild climate of the area provide ideal conditions for cultivating native varieties: Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Molinara.
