The story of Corte Archi began more than a hundred years ago, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, thanks to Caterina and Carlo Campagnola, who in the early 1900s decided to buy the family house, the cellar in the Paverno hamlet, and the surrounding vineyards in Marano di Valpolicella.
This is where the Campagnola family began producing their traditional wines.
The estate was later carried on by their four sons, until the 1960s, when the family decided to divide the property. Guido Carlo, the youngest son, kept the family house and some vineyards in Valgatara. In the 1970s, his son Giampaolo took over, continuing to run the winery according to the practices of the time.
Since 1995, Fernando has led the family winery with passion and drive, pursuing continuous improvement of both vineyard and wine. This work now goes hand in hand with a growing commitment to the environment and biodiversity, through sustainable cultivation practices.
Today, Fernando and his family produce Corte Archi's wines fully aware of the privilege of working a fertile, well-suited land — the Valpolicella Classica — with one clear goal: to hand down to their children and future generations a territory that is healthy and intact.
