Le Salette

The winery takes its name from the nearby sanctuary called La Salette, built at the end of the 19th century by local winemakers as an ex-voto to the Madonna for having eradicated the phylloxera that had infested their vineyards in those years. We are in the heart of Valpolicella, precisely in Fiumane. The Le Salette winery has belonged to the Scamperle family for more than 150 years. Today the winery is managed by Franco Scamperle who, together with his children Cesare and Giulia, makes the family business prosper, as demonstrated by the fact that the family has been able to increase the size of their vineyards, reaching a total of almost 20 hectares, all located in areas particularly suited to Valpolicella wine production. Naturally, the vineyards planted are those typical of this territory such as Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta, Molinara and Croatina. As in all family-run businesses, here too the work pace is intense; what repays the great commitment is enthusiasm, love for the territory and the constant desire to improve, thanks to the experience accumulated over the years. These elements contribute to the achievement of absolutely excellent results such as the flagship of the winery, the Amarone Pergole Vece which, with its incomparable elegance and refinement, intensity and softness, has won prizes and recognitions, including international ones, in addition to the clear favor of critics and the public.
