The agricultural farm La Giaretta owns approximately ten hectares of land destined to the growing of grapevines, located in the heart of the Classic Valpolicella region, in the town districts of Marano di Valpolicella, Negrar and San Pietro in Cariano, at an altitude of approximately 200 meters. The best part of the vineyards is located in Valgatara, small hamlet of Marano. Here there is a piece of land, denominated “I Quadretti” by the ancestors of the Vaona family because it was divided in equal squares. It is located in the hilly strip where the exposure to the sun is best and where the oldest grapevines are, which, as common knowledge has it, “give” the best wine. This is where the family business obtains its top-of-the-line “I Quadretti” wines. The motto of the Vaona family says that to have quality in a glass one has to start first of all with quality on the land. This is why a great amount of time is dedicated to the land, the grapes are pruned to obtain a more concentrated product and the leaves are thinned out to get a better exposure for the grapes....
