The wine is then aged for a minimum of two years, with a portion of this time spent in oak barrels to enhance complexity.

- Aged Cheeses: Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino, Gorgonzola
Villa Spinosa is a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica region, specifically in the historic village of Jago, Negrar di Valpolicella, at the foot of Colle Masua. The estate dates back to 1860 and is surrounded by an Italian-style romantic garden, offering panoramic views of the lush vineyards and the picturesque Negrar Valley. The property comprises approximately 25 hectares of vineyards situated at elevations between 230 and 423 meters above sea level, dedicated to cultivating traditional grape varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella.
The winery produces a full range of Valpolicella denomination wines, including Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, Valpolicella Classico DOC, and Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG. Notably, their “Albasini” Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2017 has received significant acclaim, earning the prestigious “Quattro Viti” recognition in the 2025 edition of the VITAE Guide to Italian Wines published by the Italian Sommelier Association.
