History
Tenuta Villa Bellini is built around an 18th-century villa on the hillside of Castelrotto, in the Valpolicella Classica commune of San Pietro in Cariano.
Its four hectares of vineyard form a carefully preserved 'brolo', a walled garden on terraced east- and south-east-facing slopes at around 150 metres, farmed organically with native Veronese varieties.
The wines are made in the estate's historic cellar, with the oenologist Erica Preosto coordinating vineyard and cellar and Enrico Nicolis consulting, and include the Amarone 'Centenarie'.
