Cantina Cà dei Conti – History

Our roots.

Welcome to Tregnago, in the splendid Val d’Illasi, in the heart of the eastern Valpolicella DOC area, where the Rancan family dedicates itself with passion and dedication to the cultivation of the land. It is here that the Cà dei Conti agricultural company came to life, founded in 2006 by the brothers Renzo and Loredana, eager to renew the ancient local tradition of making good wine with full respect for the grapes, the territory and those who live there.
The work begins in the vineyards, with Fabio, an expert and eclectic winemaker, ancient varieties are restored, characterized by low yields but of inestimable value, such as Croatina and Oseleta. In 2010, the first vintage was presented and the result leaves no doubt: despite the difficulties, the path is the right one.

The philosophy that guides the Cà dei Conti agricultural company is to produce high quality wines, adopting artisanal and sustainable cultivation and harvesting methods. Attention to nature and the environment translates into the use of native grapes, which have adapted perfectly to the territory, showing extraordinary resistance to parasites. This allows us to drastically reduce the use of pesticides and completely eliminate the use of machinery for their spreading.

“TANO” organic Amarone DOC is one of our flagship jewels. Obtained from native grapes grown with certified organic methods, this wine expresses all the passion and authenticity of the territory. Its complex and enveloping notes offer a unique tasting experience, capable of conquering even the most demanding palates.
Our commitment to the environment is also reflected in the “Slow Wine” recognition we have obtained. This prestigious brand attests to our commitment to cultivating and producing wines respecting nature and with particular attention to local traditions.

Cà dei Conti is an active member of Fivi, a federation that brings together independent winemakers who share a passion for organic and sustainable agriculture. Our membership of this producer network means that our organic wine is guaranteed by rigorous ethics and a shared commitment to quality and authenticity. Our use of pest-resistant Piwi grape varieties is testament to our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability.

Our wine stands out for its elegant and complex structure, obtained thanks to careful vinification and refinement work. Each of our bottles brings with it the history and passion of a family that has been dedicated to the art of wine production for generations.
We are pleased to invite you to a tasting at our cellar, where you can discover the essence of our wines and immerse yourself in the beauty of the landscapes that surround us. Let yourself be transported on a unique sensorial journey, where history, tradition and passion come together in every sip.

Quality, Sustainability and Respect – Our Vision

Not volumes but great quality.
Our primary goal is not quantity, but the production of high quality wines.
We constantly strive to create an “easy” wine that can be enjoyed with pleasure during a delicious dinner or shared with friends on a special evening. Our secret lies in the vast territory that surrounds us, in the extremely accurate techniques applied both in the vineyard and in the cellar and, above all, in our great passion.

We have created new systems, always thinking about further improving the quality of our wines.
We have adopted a very dense planting, with 9000 plants per hectare and limited growth. This allows us to guarantee the perfect ripening of approximately 1.5 kg of grapes per plant. During the harvest, we carefully select the grapes and considerably lengthen the drying process, operations which form the basis for obtaining wines of great body, personality and pleasantness in the future.

Attention to detail and constant attention are fundamental elements for us.
Our dedication is reflected in the way we work the land and in the choices we make in the cellar. We are proud to be able to offer our customers a range of wines that fully represent our passion and philosophy.
We are aware that our large territory, with its variety of soils and microclimates, gives us a unique raw material. Our extreme technique in the vineyard allows us to fully grasp the potential of these grapes. During the winemaking process, we use careful and scrupulous methods to best preserve the characteristics of the grapes and transform them into wines of extraordinary quality.

The drying of the grapes, a practice that has its roots in local tradition, represents for us an opportunity to obtain wines with a unique character.
This process allows the grapes to concentrate their sugars and aromas, giving our wines extraordinary complexity and depth.

Our cellar is the place where our wines come to life, but it is also the beating heart of our passion and creativity. Here we work with care and dedication to obtain results that fill us with pride. Every bottle that leaves our cellar is the result of artisanal work and a constant commitment to offer the best to our wine lovers.
We are certain that our wines, thanks to their great personality and pleasantness, will conquer your senses and accompany the most special moments of your life. We hope that every sip of Ca dei Conti will be a unique experience, capable of transporting you on an emotional journey through the aromas and flavors of our territory.
Valpolicella is an extensive territory that practically embraces the entire foothills of the province of Verona. It is in this region that we produce our prized organic Valpolicella wine, which embodies the authenticity and excellence of the area.

Surrounded by Passion – The Territory of our Wines

The areas of Valpolicella.
The production area of Valpolicella D.O.C., in addition to the valleys of Fumane, Marano and Negrar, also extends to Valpantena, Val Squaranto and the valleys of Illasi and Tramigna. We are fortunate to have our vineyards located high up in the hills, in a place of rare beauty. Here, the vineyards enjoy excellent southern exposure, which makes them dry and well ventilated. These natural characteristics create a protected environment for the grapes, minimizing the attack of mold and parasites and allowing us to drastically reduce the use of chemical treatments.
The calcareous soil and the presence of a rich skeleton give our wines an intense color and a high quality structure. Each sip reveals a harmony of flavors and an elegant softness, which are the result of the perfect combination between the native grapes and the territory in which they are grown.
We are committed to preserving the integrity of our territory, adopting sustainable cultivation practices that respect the natural balance of the viticultural ecosystem. Our attention to the health of the plants and the quality of the grapes translates into wines that reflect the authentic soul of Valpolicella.

Our vineyards, immersed in breathtaking landscapes, are a true treasure chest of biodiversity. We are aware of the importance of maintaining an uncontaminated and sustainable environment, which allows the grapes to fully express their aromatic and gustatory potential.
We are pleased to share with you the essence of this extraordinary region through our organic Valpolicella wines. Each bottle represents a sensorial journey, in which you will be able to perceive the love and care we put into the production of high quality wines.
Come and discover the magic of Valpolicella and let yourself be seduced by its enchanting landscapes and the wines that carry its soul. Our organic Valpolicella wines will win you over with their intensity, their structure and their soft elegance. We invite you to savor every sip, letting yourself be transported by an unforgettable experience.

Respect and Vision – Resistant Varieties

Territory, Landscape, Population.
We are committed to promoting agriculture that respects the environment, the different forms of life and the territory in which we operate. Our philosophy is based on the recovery of local varieties, which are perfectly adapted to the peculiarities of our territory and its climate.
We are firmly against agriculture which puts the health of citizens at risk and causes pollution of the soil, water and air, causing the death of numerous animal species. We are aware that such practices not only undermine the well-being of our community, but also lead to the devaluation of the commercial value of the properties bordering the cultivated areas. Furthermore, we recognize that such practices contribute to the gradual depletion of invaluable natural and commercial resources, such as our land and surrounding landscape.
In Italy, 666,400 hectares of surface area are dedicated to the production of wine grapes. We are proud to do our part by dedicating part of this land to sustainable cultivation. In particular, we have allocated 2000 hectares of surface area to the cultivation of resistant varieties, which represent a conscious choice for protecting the environment and promoting more sustainable viticulture.
We are convinced that the future of agriculture lies in the valorisation of local resources and the adaptation of cultivation practices to the territory. The use of native and resistant varieties, which are able to thrive without the excessive use of harmful chemicals, represents one of our main strategies to protect the ecosystem and ensure the sustainability of our production.
Our mission is to demonstrate that it is possible to reconcile agricultural activity with the protection of the environment and people’s health. We want to create a model in which biodiversity, landscape and natural resources are valued and preserved, thus contributing to building a better future for generations to come.
We will continue to farm with respect for our territory, constantly seeking new ways to improve the sustainability of our agricultural practices. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of a movement that promotes a vision of agriculture based on responsibility and awareness of its long-term impacts.
