Speri winery
As early as the 1970s, to highlight the special character of each plot of land, the Speri family started vinifying grapes separately from individual plots, making the first single vineyard wines: Amarone Classico Vigneto Monte Sant Urbano, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Sant Urbano and Recioto Classico La Roggia are the superb wines that are produced, each of which bears the name of its vineyard of origin. The Speri family, respecting the biodiversity of the terroir and with the goal of maintaining the very highest quality levels, already back in the early 90s, after years of field testing and observation, for first brought significant changes to the traditional Pergola Veronese training system. The most important improvements involved inclining the metal arm that the vine branches rest on, opening up a central area to bring more sunlight and improve ventilation of the grape bunches. This new vine training system is called an Open inclined Pergoletta but many also called it Pergoletta Speri . Today it has become the most popular system in Valpolicella and the most effective way to cultivate the vineyard on hillsides and to produce Amarone.
