In the heart of Valpolicella, the historic Villa Crine, dating back to the 1700s, sits nestled in the hillside of Colle Masua. This family-owned estate has preserved centuries-old winemaking traditions, now revitalized by Giovanni Battista Venturini, affectionately known as Battista. With the support of his wife Mara and their children—Giuseppe, an enology graduate, and Diletta, a university student—Battista has successfully expanded Villa Crine’s reach, bringing their wines to enthusiasts across Europe and beyond.

The estate focuses on producing high-quality wines, meticulously crafted to highlight the unique microclimates and soil compositions of the Valpolicella Classica area. Utilizing traditional techniques such as grape drying, which concentrates sugars and aromas for Amarone and Recioto, each step in the winemaking process is carefully monitored. This blend of tradition and innovation ensures that Villa Crine’s wines embody both the family’s heritage and a commitment to excellence.
