In 2022, 10 years after its first harvest, Vigneti di Ettore’s first Riserva was released. The label reflects “Moon over Valpolicella”, a painting by artist Dan Namingha, that expresses through colors and brush strokes the complexity, stratification, and richness of the elements that make this wine. The passing of the seasons, the different soils and grapes, and the contribution of many friends who collaborated to its birth. Sadly Ettore, founder of the estate, father of Giampaolo and grandfather to Gabriele, despite having followed the journey from the beginning, was not able to reap the fruits of the labor as he passed away in 2021. The 2012 harvest will forever remain an exciting vintage that will remember his imprint and character.
