La Dama is a family-run organic winery in Negrar di Valpolicella, on the hills of the Valpolicella Classica area, in the province of Verona. It is led by Gabriele and Miriam, with the support of their father Gianni, who make wine exclusively from their own grapes.

Alongside the great traditional wines, such as Amarone and Recioto, the winery offers more distinctive labels. The grapes destined for Amarone and Recioto are laid to dry in the estate’s drying loft, according to the typical local method, before vinification and aging in the barrique cellar.

Among the wines, largely from organic farming, are Cà Besi Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC, Ripensia Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG and Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, as well as Bollicella Rosato, a sparkling wine re-fermented on the lees.

Passion for wine, love for the land and a spirit of sharing animate La Dama, which welcomes guests with tastings in the cellar, tours through the vineyards, summer picnics among the vines and harvest-time tastings that compare freshly pressed must with the finished wine: an authentic way to discover Valpolicella Classica.
