There they conducted dozens of interviews with some of Italy's most inspiring producers. Join the fun every Thursday afternoon!\nTune-in each Thursday as we bring you the great interviews that unfolded over the course of 3 days.\nMore about today\u2019s Winery:\nCantine Benedetti is a winery established in 1995 by our father Luigi. In 2002 the three brothers Giuseppe, Davide and Simone decided to lead the company and bring it to a higher level.\nCantine Benedetti is an artisan winery that is run with the upmost care and dedication.\nAs custodians of the land, the Benedetti brothers strive for excellence while protecting the traditions of the region and building the dream of their father and the original 15 acres.\nSome of their decisions mean that the process remains very labour intensive, but they feel that this is a small price to pay for first class wines.\nIf you treat your land properly and you respect the plants, without chemicals and cutting corners, you will be rewarded with superior fruit.\n\u201cFrom vine to bottle, a family tradition\u201d.\nOur company uses only home grown grapes, giving us the ability to control the birth of our wines from the cultivation of the vines; this attentive care applied to every step and a deep love and passion for our land, gives us that marvellous product known as Valpolicella, in all its kinds.\nThese choices don\u2019t often follow the market\u2019s rules, but they are to be perceived as an artist\u2019s signature.\nConnect:\nFacebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/cantinebenedetti\nWebsite:\xa0www.cantine-benedetti.com/\n_______________________________\nLet's keep in touch!
