Corte Lonardi: A Family Tradition in Marano

Corte Lonardi is a charming family-owned winery nestled in the lush landscape of Valpolicella, specifically in Marano. Although the estate is relatively new, it is steeped in a rich gastronomic and rural heritage. Founded by Giuseppe Lonardi, the winery is now managed by his daughter, Silvia Lonardi. Growing up surrounded by the family tavern and vineyards, Silvia developed a deep passion for wine and local cuisine from an early age.

Valpolicella's Renowned Red Wines

Giuseppe Lonardi began crafting wines in the 1980s, collaborating with his friend and skilled winemaker, Roberto Ferrarini. Valpolicella is celebrated for its fertile alluvial soil, mild climate, and rolling green hills, making it an ideal region for viticulture. The vineyards in the Marano Valley produce aromatic and distinctive wines from grape varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone, Croatina, Cabernet, Molinara, and Rondinella. These grapes are the foundation of the world-famous red wines that Valpolicella is known for.

Highlighting the Terroir's Unique Qualities

Corte Lonardi employs a blend of traditional methods and modern winemaking techniques to create exceptional wines, including Amarone, Recioto, Privilegia, Valpolicella Ripasso, and Valpolicella Classico. Aged in oak barrels, these wines develop enhanced aromas and structure, showcasing the unique characteristics of the region's terroir. In addition to their wines, the winery produces Grappa di Amarone and high-quality olive oil from local olives. Visitors are warmly welcomed by Silvia Lonardi, who is eager to share her family's passion for winemaking and the beauty of Valpolicella.
