Nestled in the picturesque Valpantena valley in Sezano near Verona, Antiche Terre Venete was established through the union of Luciano Sancassani and the Degani family, merging historic viticultural heritage with contemporary winemaking practices. The estate operates from a modern, eco-sustainable winery powered by renewable energy, surrounded by vineyards cultivated in limestone-rich, gravelly soils optimal for Valpolicella varieties. Focusing on indigenous grapes such as Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, the winery utilizes traditional appassimento grape-drying techniques alongside modern temperature-controlled fermentation to craft structured Amarone della Valpolicella, rich Valpolicella Ripasso, and expressive Valpolicella Superiore wines.
