Pier Paolo Antolini

Known locally as 'Amarone Boy,' Pier Paolo Antolini tends just 7.5 hectares in Marano di Valpolicella on ancient terraced soils — an energetic, passionate producer whose infectious love for the land drew Wines Direct to his cellar door. His wines are the antithesis of industrial Amarone: small-scale, site-specific and full of the character that only genuinely care-driven winemaking on old hillside terraces can deliver.
