The name “Casa Lupo” has its origins in the history of the region, where many years ago Valpolicella was almost completely covered with forests which were inhabited by several large packs of wolves. It was literally the home of the wolf, or “Casa Lupo” in Italian.
It is produced from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella grapes which are left to dry in the loft until mid-December. The vinification takes place in small steel vats, while the wine is aged in 500-litre oak tonneaux for 18-24 months.
