Family and History

Le Calendre: a young winery deeply rooted in Valpolicella. A 100-year old tradition, proudly arrived to the fifth generation, at Le Calendre we still obtain wine exclusively from our grapes, supervising the entire production – from the vineyard to the bottle – treating with utmost care every single detail.

Vineyards

The winery cultivates 4 hectares of vineyards situated in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, trellised with the double inclined “Pergola” system: the century old system typical of Valpolicella. These vineyards are mainly planted with native grape varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara, ensuring wines that authentically express the unique characteristics of the region.

Production

Le Calendre produces approximately 30,000 bottles annually, using only grapes from its own vineyards to ensure full control over quality. The winery focuses on DOC and DOCG wines that embody the essence of Valpolicella’s rich terroir.

Wines

Le Calendre focuses on producing five classic wines, and one IGT Rosso Veronese. The winery’s approach prioritizes stylistic integrity and consistency, emphasizing elegance and terroir as hallmarks of its production.

Le Calendre tradition

According to local tradition, "Le Calendre" was a method used to forecast the seasonal climate and consequently plan the work to be carried out in the vineyards. 

It was not based on scientific principles, but rather on centuries-old traditional customs. 

We cherish this heritage when it comes to making our wines and tending our vines: neither science nor book learning is enough to explain the magic found in a glass of good wine.

Distribution

Le Calendre wines are available in over 15 countries worldwide, primarily in the Ho.Re.Ca. sector, excellently represented by small importers/distributors with whom a relationship of deep cooperation and friendship is established.
