Azienda Agricola Trabucchi

About

Since 1924, the Trabucchi winery has undergone both material and immaterial transformation. We produce Valpolicella Superiore DOC, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, Recioto della Valpolicella DOC and Recioto di Soave DOCG. The original wine-making cellar, built of stone under the 19th century villa, has been replaced by a new winery built in 2002. The structure consists of three floors below ground, connected to the previous cellar by a tunnel, and built in order to add approximately 3000m2 of additional space to the previous facilities with practically zero environmental impact. Further space was added in the form of a new facility for appassimento (the partial drying of the grapes), a workshop, and storage for agricultural machinery. The lowest floor in the winery is at 20 metres below ground level. Above the top floor of the winery there is the vineyard, cultivated to help provide appropriate thermal insulation: due to the depth in the subsoil, good temperature insulation.
