| Winery | The grapes come from within the 15-hectare estate in “Val di Mezzane”, at 200 and 300 metres above sea level, with eight hectares designated for the Valpolicella grapes. The soils are made up of volcanic basaltic soil structure. The vines are trained according to the Guyot pruning method and are planted at a density of 7,500 vines per hectare. At Rocolo Grassi, they employ viticultural practices that are attentive to the environment and the terroir by supporting the natural cycles, the vines and their ability to express themselves. The vines are meticulously pruned, with attention paid to every plant to limit the yields and allow each vine to reach optimal ripeness. In addition to the vineyard, the estate includes two hectares of woods, 1.5 hectares of olive groves and various fruit trees, which creates a unique ecosystem that produces healthy and high-quality grapes. |
