Sartori is a historic winery rooted in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area. Started in 1898, when Pietro Sartori, grandfather of the current owners, acquired a vineyard in Negrar to ensure he could supply his hotel with fine wine. Since then, Sartori is focusing on Verona's indigenous grapes.
This is an incredibly versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its crisp acidity and refreshing flavors make it an ideal companion to seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
