The winery was founded in 1974 and run by members of the Falezza family, owners of about 12 hectares completely cultivated with Valpolicella DOC vineyards in the area of San Felice Extra in Verona, Italy. Luigi Falezza, born in 1927, already at the age of 6, after school, together with his brothers and sisters, went to the fields to help his parents in agricultural work. In the 1940s he worked with his family as a sharecropper in the Villa "Bacco d'Oro". The Villa belonged to the Counts Schiavoni family and was located in the Mezzane Valley, it was only a part of the 800/900 land appreciation of this great empire. In the most challenging seasons Louis was helped by another 10/12 workers and their families; among them there was a great sense of solidarity and help. In winter they planted wooden poles to support the vine with the "rengaia", which was a kind of large scythe.In the spring the vines were pruned and in October the harvest began. The vineyards were watered using water containers carried on their shoulders. The grapes were harvested with the "zerles", which were two baskets placed on the shoulders at the end of a stick; subsequently the grapes were stored in the "brentoni". Finally, it was sold to shopkeepers and the unsold part remained in the cellar of the property, where wine was produced in wooden barrels for aging. After the death of the Counts Schiavoni of Mezzane, the property was sold. Luigi then moved to San Felice and, in 1974, bought the current vinyeards, which from 2001 expanded with the purchase of land in the area of Marcellise (hilly area near Verona) and Mezzane di Sotto (in the province of Verona).It was here that he handed down the ancient varieties and qualities of some vine varieties such as Corvina and Corvinone, using the Veronese vine-growing system. Our creations are made by us just like they used to be. Our work, which has led us to have important awards of which we are proud of, involves the challenge of maintaining high values in a completely changed market. Tradition, innovation, quality research and passion are the values handed down from generation to generation by the Falezza Family and today are told through autochthonous wines of the Veronese area.
