THE WORK BEHIND AMARONE

Making Amarone is a beautiful tradition.

But let’s talk about the work nobody sees. 👀

BEFORE THE HARVEST

Before picking a single grape, every crate needs to be washed.

Yes, every single one.

HARVEST TIME

Every bunch is hand-picked and carefully placed in its crate.

One grape bunch at a time.

DAD’S POINT OF VIEW 😂

No, we didn’t speed up the video.

He’s just that fast.

THE CRATES KEEP MOVING

Harvesting is only the beginning.

All those crates still need to be moved, transported and handled.

INTO THE FRUTTAIO

Finally, every crate finds its place in the drying room.

One by one. No shortcuts.

LET THE APPASSIMENTO BEGIN 🍇

Now the grapes begin their three-month journey of appassimento.

An ancient tradition. Months of patience. And a whole lot of work before the w**e even exists.

Let the magic begin.

The answer is HARVEST SEASON 😂😇😅

Amarone harvest 2026 🍇

This year, everything happened a little earlier than expected. After a very warm summer, we found ourselves starting the Amarone harvest surprisingly early — but the grapes? Absolutely beautiful. Healthy, ripe and honestly, better than we could have hoped for.

For Amarone, we don’t just pick grapes and put them in the crates. We carefully select the best bunches, one by one, because only the ones we really believe in deserve to spend the next few months in our Appassimento Room.

And then there is harvest itself. Somehow, every year, it becomes one of those moments when the whole family ends up together — working, arguing a little, laughing a lot, eating, tasting… and getting very tired. 😅

We’re now finishing the Amarone grapes, and soon it will be time for the Valpolicella.

And yes, we know… we’ve been a little quiet on the feed since February. 🙈 The truth is, we’ve been much better at living what happens here than posting about it. But I’d really like to change that and show you a little more of Corte Odorico, the family, the vineyards and everything that happens in between.

So… let’s see if I can actually keep up with my own plan this time. 🍷

They told me trade fairs were cold and purely business. They were wrong. 🍷✨

My first ever **eparis_vinexpo with Corte Odorico was a wild ride. From the pre-fair nerves and rushed labels to forgetting the most basic tool... yes, I was the w**emaker who showed up without a corkscrew! 😂 (Special thanks to my neighbors for the rescue!).

There were moments where I felt like a puppy in a shelter, watching the crowd go by and hoping someone would “pick” our w**e. But then, the magic happened. Real people stopped, listened to our story, and chose to believe in us. No cold business talk, just pure human connection and a shared love for what we do.

I’m heading home with a full heart, new partners, and... a 39°C fever. 🤒 A little “souvenir” from Paris I could have done without, but hey, it was worth every second.

Note to my future self: Relax, be yourself, and always, ALWAYS pack a corkscrew. 🍷🍷

Dear guests who have been part of Corte Odorico,
thank you.
Thank you, because 2025 has been a year full of emotions, hard work, dreams and beautiful achievements — all thanks to you.

In March, we travelled to the Netherlands to meet new importers.
It was a success beyond expectations, leading us back to Denmark in December, where we shared w**es, stories, dinners and new collaborations that truly moved us.

This year, Corte Odorico also became a Life Sanctuary —
a rehabilitation center for birds of prey and hedgehogs, in collaboration with Natura Verona Lago.
We are proudly hunting-free.
And, to stay true to our values, we even set our chickens free.
Not without a bit of chaos — but with a lot of joy.

We welcomed hundreds of new guests.
Kind, curious, respectful souls.
Reviews on Airbnb, Google, Roadsurfer and Nomadi were wonderful.
And the words written in our guestbooks… some of them made us cry.

New guests were special.
But those who came back hold an even deeper place in our hearts.
Because when you feel good somewhere, you return.
And often, a guest becomes a friend — or family.

The tourist season was incredible:
fully booked stays, hundreds of tastings, picnics, open bottles and shared smiles.
We hosted marriage proposals, anniversaries, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties.

We joined our first public cycling event,
organized the biggest charity event in our history,
and bottled our w**es on-site for the first time, doubling our Valpolicella Superiore production.

The harvest was challenging.
But we made it.
And today, our Amarone is fermenting right here.

I, Malvina, together with my family and everyone who supports us,
look back at this year with deep gratitude and emotion.
We will improve, we will learn, we will grow.
But the most beautiful thing is that there has never been conflict here.

Because the best part of this job
is seeing people feel good in what we call home.

Keep coming back.
Keep in touch.
Keep sharing our story.

Word of mouth and your return
are the greatest gifts you can give us.

This is our way of doing business.
A business of the heart.

We don’t usually speak about numbers.
But this time, numbers speak about you.

⭐ 65 out of 67 reviews on Nomady are 5 stars
⭐ Google is still at 5.0
⭐ Booking improved its rating this year

If you’ve been at Corte Odorico and feel like sharing your experience, a review means a lot to us.
It helps us improve, grow and reach the right people.

Thank you for being such wonderful guests 🤍

Stepping in front of the camera is definitely not my hidden talent — and trust me, you will notice.
But here I am anyway, because when you truly love your small family business… you do things you never thought you’d do. 😅📸

This Christmas we’re putting all our heart into creating personalized gift boxes and custom vouchers — thoughtful, authentic gifts straight from our w**ery in the heart of Valpolicella.
Whether you want to surprise someone special or treat yourself, we’ll make it unique, beautiful, and made with love. ❤️🎁

So yes, I may be awkward on camera…
but I promise the Christmas gifts we prepare for you are much more professional than my acting skills. 😉
