The Manara winery was established in 1950 in San Floriano in the heart of Valpolicella Classica.
The owners have been running it for three generations, maintaining local wine-making traditions with growing experience, passion, and a strong bond with the Valpolicella Classico region.
The estate stretches over 11 hectares in the districts of San Pietro in Cariano, Negrar, and Marano di Valpolicella.
After three generations and with its fourth gradually joining in, the Manara family is carrying on its wine-growing tradition with passion and knowledge, maintaining the strong bond with the land that saw it originate and grow.
The plant breeding system is the “double pergoletta” (pairle).
They produce top quality Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara, and other minor varieties of grapes and only the best go for further winemaking which eventually gets reflected in their wines.
