The producer
Accordini
Fumane · Valpolicella, VenetoFounded Early 1900s25 ha of vineyardaccordinistefano.it
The Accordini family's roots in Valpolicella go back to the early 1900s, when Gaetano Accordini made wine as a sharecropper before the family became landowners and then producers. Based at Fumane in the Classico zone, the estate works the historic Bessole and Fornetto vineyards and makes Valpolicella, Ripasso and Amarone under the Acinatico label, with il Fornetto as its top single-vineyard selection. An organic line sits alongside the classic range.
