A new story in Valpolicella

 

La Giuva was founded by Alberto Malesani, world-famous football technician, in a bid to become a true point of reference for Valpolicella wine production.

 

In 2023, the Veronesi family inherited this unique project with the desire to continue to pursue top quality in a new, unexplored area of Valpolicella, Val Squaranto.

IDENTITY
The upper Val Squaranto

The production choice made by La Giuva today is focussed on autochthonous wines of the area of Trezzolano, in upper Val Squaranto.

A unique portion of land, upper Val Squaranto differs from the rest of the valley for the conformation of the soil, which is here considerably more calcareous, with steeper slopes and constant winds that foster the development of aromas and scents that give rise to highly expressive wines.

The 360° exposure of La Giuva vines gifts them with balance and freshness in both the warmer years and the colder ones alike. It also helps better divide up the harvest, which is carried out entirely by hand.

OUR WINES
  • Il Valpo: Valpolicella DOC
    “Valpo” is the jargon used locally by residents in the production area to refer to Valpolicella. 
     
  • Il Rientro: Valpolicella Superiore DOC
    At the time, Alberto Malesani baptised his Valpolicella Superiore “il Rientro”, a term he used regularly in training sessions and matches to tell the team to fall back into a compact defence harmoniously, thereby reflecting the compact and harmonious nature of this wine.
     
  • Amarone: Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
    “Amarone” contains the word “Amare” (“to love”): indeed, what other emotion could this wine possibly convey, both to those who produce it and those who enjoy it?
     
  • Recioto: Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG
    The name “Recioto” contains the title “Re” (meaning “King”), thereby highlighting the fact that this is the most noble wine of all, unique in its flavour and richness of expression, the one calling for the closest attention during production, which is deliberately limited.
     
  • Aristide: Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
    The “Aristide” is not a wine we produce, but rather one that is created from man’s talent and nature’s majesty. It is a work of art, and indeed the word is embodied in its name.
