La Formica

The company consists of over 32 hectares, of which about 26 hectares are vineyards, all located in Val d’Illasi, the easternmost part of Valpolicella denomination. The company headquarters is located in Cellore d’Illasi in the center of the valley of the same name, surrounded by about 7 hectares of vineyards cultivated in the traditional pergola style. The soils in this area are characterized by the presence of a gravel substrate that provides excellent drainage characteristics, while surface-level gravel outcrops are alternated and mixed with silt soils of alluvial origin. The grapes produced here have an early ripening and give the wines intense fruity notes.

The other hectares of vineyards are located on the eastern slope of Monte Le Guaite and in the Pagnaghe area.
