Massimago derives linguistically from Maximum Agium, the Latin words which mean maximum level of well-being. The estate is nestled in the valley of Mezzane, in the most hidden part of Valpolicella. Owned by the Cracco family (Camilla’s mother’s family) since 1883, it was renovated and relaunched as Winery and Wine Relais, in 2003. Massimago is rooted in the Mezzane valley, a deep and ever-present agricultural area of Valpolicella that developed on the eastern side of Verona, a few km from Lessina Natural Park and the Soave Castle. Originally the valley was completely submerged by the sea, therefore the particularities of the soil types vary with their elevation. The property covers 28 hectares with an elevation gradient 80m to 350m above sea level. The exposure is South-West. Resulting from our experience and research we’ve identified 13 different parcels of terrain that, from mid-September to mid-October, are vinified separately in order to optimize the final results. The forest and natural valleys that surround the vineyards of our estate allow us to cultivate organically without drift effects. Contacts: info@massimago.com
