The Cantina di Negrar was founded in 1933 when seven producers (including Pier Alvise Alighieri, a direct descendant of the great poet Dante) pooled their resources to set up a cellar which could meet the technical and commercial requirements of the modern era. Today the Cantina, lead by passionate wine-maker Daniele Accordini, has over 200 members and runs one of the most modern cellars in the region.
Cantina di Negrar has always played an important role in the history of the Valpolicella (the first Amarone ever bottled was produced here in 1934), and the tradition continues through the impressive range of classic wines they produce.
