ABOUT THE WINERY
In 1800, the Fredrigo family started a wine business in the neighboring village of Negrar. They started making wine in 1846. By the 1950s Granny Luigana and Grandpa Fernando started making their own wine near Fumane. Their children and extended family now manage Cà dei Maghi and expanded their vineyards.
Paolo Creazzi, the 6th generations nephew, took the reins in 2011. He has a very thoughtful approach with a devotion to every detail in growing and making the wines. He is driven to try experimental bottlings in the process while also forging classic DOC/DOCG wines with precise identities that reflect their vineyards.
WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY
The goal is to recognize, preserve and focus on each individual vineyard and block. Paolo takes experimental approach in reserving and or blending the individual fermentations. The winery sits in the middle of three sites that inspire him. Paolo Creazzi, the grandson, says “Diversity is what I look for in a wine and I was lucky enough to find immediately productive vineyards, so close but so different. The multiple grape varieties allowed me to be able to give a precise identity to the Classics of Valpolicella and, with IGT, to be able to experiment with something new every year, in search of that new nuance that can stand out. Every choice is thought out and implies absolute attention to detail: for us there are no shortcuts “.
