Proprietor Marco Sartori makes some of the most striking, pure Valpolicellas and Amarones readers will come across. Sartori favors relatively little influence from dried grapes in his reds, so readers should expect modern Valpolicellas and Amarones without high levels of residual sugar.

Roccolo Grassi is one of Veneto's most exciting emerging wineries. Proprietor Marco Sartori makes Valpolicellas and Amarones built on textural depth and volume. Stylistically, the wines are a bit on the fruit-driven side of things, but with every year the wines find more polish and elegance. Sartori is without question one of the rising stars in Valpolicella. I discuss his wines in this short overview of Amarone. As always, Sartori aims to make an Amarone in which the drying process is not particularly overt or pronounced in the signatures of his wines.
