Located in North-East of Italy in the Veneto region, the vineyards for the San Michele wines are situated in Valpolicella: a splendid hilly territory situated a few kilometers away from the famous artistic city of Verona. Valpolicella is enclosed between the Adige Valley, the Lessini mountains and the countryside of Verona, just outside Lake Garda.

Valpolicella is made up of romantic villages and picturesque valleys.

It is a rich and generous territory, an example of how the love of the people who live here, the history, the cultural heritage, fantastic wines and local products can produce something so unique.

This area has a wonderful climate for vineyards: cold in winter, warm and sunny in the summer. Moreover you can admire beautiful landscapes that are divided between the green of the vineyards and the striking natural and architectural beauties.

Corvina , Corvinone and Rondinella are Italian red wine grapes, famous for being key constituents of Valpolicella wines. They are characterized by sour cherry flavor, light in color with few tannins, and sometimes bright red and lighter in structure. These varieties also allow for the appassimento process of air-drying grapes.
