With much planning and foresight, the family planted new vineyards, replaced the old barrels and modernised the wine production methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new millennium was very significant for the Stefano Accordini winery. It was decided to move the wine production into the height of the Valpolicella Classica area, a move that would have allowed the production of wines of excellent quality. The project began with the purchase of 10 hectares in Cavolo, situated in the valley of Fumane at 550 metres above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice to produce wines in the hills proved to be a winner. The wines are unique both in taste and bouquet and were much appreciated right from the outset. Following the purchase of land and the creation of the new vineyards, the new winery was constructed and completed in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth generation of the family continue to work with passion and dedication, concentrating on quality and the impact on the environment. All vineyards of the company are cultivated according to biological methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":" Bottega Italia AU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44263948648545,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/7023\/1905\/files\/fornetto-1_ddb8b885-7ec7-46da-a7e6-dd5cb24e673d.jpg?v=1778461006","url":"https:\/\/bottega-italia.com.au\/products\/stefano-accordini-amarone-vignetto-il-fornetto-riserva-2016","provider":" Bottega Italia Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
