"Damoli is situated in Negrar, near Verona, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica area. It is a small winery, that was given new life a few years ago, after a few decades pause as wine producers. The small farm is run by Bruno Damoli, as owner and expert in viticulture, his son, Daniele Damoli, who serves as oenologist and winemaker, and his daughter Lara Damoli, responsible for sales and marketing. Damoli produces a very limited quantity of high quality wine and has become a local Veronese favorite.
The vineyards are situated on the hills in Jago (Negrar) at 200 meters above sea level and on high hills in Mazzano on the north side of Negrar at 400 meters. These small plots of land provide the best broad stroke characteristics of the land, thanks to a careful preliminary study of the terroir and the exposure of the vineyards. The vines are trained in the classic Pergola Veronese method.
The grapes are pressed and left to ferment with the skins for 15 days in stainless steel, the wines is then aged in stainless steel until bottling. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeast and other than a small dose of SO2 there are no additives, interventions or manipulations in the winemaking process." - Strade Bianche
