The Wine

50% Corvina, 35% Rondinella, 15% Molinara 

A few days after crushing, the grapes were macerated, and fermentation lasted about seven days, followed by racking. The wine was then stored in stainless steel tanks until mid-March, with periodic racking to separate it from fermentation residues.

In mid-March, when their Amarone was racked, this 'Arcum' cuvee underwent a short refermentation on Amarone grape skins, initiating a second alcoholic fermentation known as “Ripasso.” This process added structure and complexity reminiscent of Amarone while keeping the wine easy to drink. The wine returned to stainless steel tanks until mid-July, with periodic racking. It was then aged for two years in Slavonian oak barrels or barriques, ranging from2.25 to 20 hl in capacity.

Immensely drinkable straight-out of the bottle but would benefit from a short decant. Will also sit comfortably in the cellar!

A must have for any Veronese wine lover!

Minimal sulfur was added during fermentation and aging, with no additional sulfur added at bottling.

About the Wine Maker


Owner, Luca Fedrigo approaches winemaking and farming with a natural, minimalist approach. His philosophy evolved in his teens working alongside the famous Valpolicella guru, Giuseppe Quintarelli. The artistry of Quintarelli in the winery has blossomed in the L'Arco cuvées through a traditional style, long aging, and masterful blending.

The Estate takes its name from a stone arch, called “Arco di Giove”, located on the road to Negrar (one of the seven historic Valpolicella communes) and near the farmhouse where the owners, the Fedrigo family are located. The arch, dating from 1500/1600, was one of a series of seven arches along the hillside path near S. Vito di Negrar.
