Azienda Agricola Boscaini Carlo – In the heart of Valpolicella Classic – Since 1948 We Produce High Quality Wine

Our winery covers an area of 14 hectares over looking the famous village of St. Giorgio Ingannapoltron, known around the world for its marvelous ancient church, cloister, and archeological excavation. In the beginning, the late Carlo Boscaini (who lived to the venerable age of 102 drinking wine in modest quantity but high quality) produced wine with great passion, his son Arturo Ernesto supporting him.

Azienda Agricola Boscaini Carlo – Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso D.O.C. Classic – Zane

From the slopes of the Grola hills in the heart of the classic Valpolicella region, we bring you a new wine, Zane (tsar-nay). This wine is born of the time-honoured blend of corvina, corvinone and rondinella grapes using the traditional method of refermenting or “ripasso” with Amarone. Zane has a delicate flavour of red berry fruits with a hint of spices on the nose. 

It has a soft and well-rounded finish on the palate which makes it the ideal accompaniment to casseroles and red meat dishes. 
Ideal serving temperature: 16° to 18° C
