Le Ragose

In 1969, enologists Arnaldo Galli and his wife Marta bought the 70-acre Le Ragose estate, North of Verona, in the town of Negrar, at the Valpolicella zone’s highest point. Recognizing that many excellent vineyard sites had been abandoned in favour of more easily-farmed sites on the plains, they replanted the Le Ragose vineyards and began making Amarone and Valpolicella in as natural a way as possible. Nowadays, their sons Paolo, a graduate in Business Management, and Marco, who has a degree in Agriculture with a thesis on “Microvinification of local varieties”, are still researching and experimenting in order to continue producing top quality wines.
