In 2011 Corte Bravi was born from an idea of ours, mine and my brother's: Andrea and Ivano Brunelli.

We are linked by the passion for making wine, starting from the vineyard, where we put our utmost care and dedication. We are committed with the same stubbornness and the same sense of responsibility in cultivating the field, in caring for the grapes, to obtain natural, authentic and sincere wines, which reflect the virtues and qualities of the territory in which we grew up. We consider ourselves attentive custodians of the beauty and nature that surrounds us, so in 2015 we undertook the organic certification process.

We realized that our families, our children would grow up among the vineyards we grow and this gave us even more stimulus and enthusiasm in safeguarding our land and this was just the beginning...

OUR CHALLENGE

All our wines are produced from the grapes we grow, respecting the balance of the vineyard, without asking for anything more than what the vines give us, without forcing the plants. For us the fermentation is spontaneous, on our own indigenous yeasts, without the use of synthetic additives, with low or no sulphites. The wines are bottled unfiltered. Our philosophy: we put our care, our hands, the grapes and NOTHING ELSE into the wine!

Our wines perfectly represent who we are and what we do. They bring with them our thoughts, our origin and our challenge, they reflect the territory, the history and the craftsmanship with which they are made. We want to carry forward our ideas and transmit them with determination and courage, and to bring only and exclusively the fruit of our land into the bottle. Andrea Brunelli

HISTORY

In 1990 our father, the seventh of seven brothers, purchased land in Gargagnago in a small valley surrounded by the estates of the Serego Alighieri counts, descendants of Dante. We are in the heart of Valpolicella Classica immersed in the beauty of our land.

Behind us to the north is Lessinia, mountains with green pastures. To the west is Lake Garda, which with its reflections gives us a mild climate. To the east the white area of Soave and to the south our beloved Verona, the cradle of romance, birthplace of Romeo and Juliet. From here, in these lands, we began with our father to do what we do best: passionately cultivate the land, arranging the stone walls as they once were, to plant our beloved vineyards.

Corte Bravi was born in 2011 and our challenge began from there... From our certified organic grapes we produce natural wines. Since 2019 we have been part of the Vinnatur association, small artisan winemakers like us who have given themselves serious rules to be able to certify a wine as natural, free from chemical products. Since 2020 we are also happy to say that all the electricity we consume comes from renewable sources. Our photovoltaic system was not enough for us and thanks to ForGreen we are supplied with energy produced by other local farms. Let us continue to carry forward these ideas with determination, thinking about the future of our children.
