Although the Cottini family's foray into viticulture formally started in 2000, their connection to the art traces back a century. Today, Diego leads a wine-growing juggernaut with sprawling vineyards across Verona's most prominent appellations. Their modern cellar, which stands in the beautiful Caprino Veronese estate, mitigates its environmental impact through energy production from biomass and efficient water management. The Cottini family's Amarone is becoming a true classic of the appellation, and with the 2019 vintage, it stands out as one of the most interesting of its kind. On the nose, fruit stands out crisp and clear on a balsamic background, while in the mouth it captivates with its harmony and pleasantly rough finish. With its lovely fruity and sulfurous profile, the Lugana Terralbe Riserva '19 also delivers, revealing a supple palate despite a certain richness.
