Pier Paolo Antolini is a small, artisanal producer in the Valpolicella Classico zone of the Veneto — an estate that has been quietly making exceptional wines for those in the know. The Ciodoli (meaning ‘nails’ in dialect, a reference to the ancient iron-rich soils) is a pure Corvina Veronese — the noble grape of Valpolicella at its most expressive and unadorned.
Bright ruby with an aromatic, fresh nose of sour cherry, red plum, dried flowers, and a hint of spice. Light-to-medium bodied with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a long, clean finish that is distinctly Veronese in character. A wine of real elegance and individuality — serve slightly cool with antipasti, light pasta, grilled fish, or simply on its own as an aperitivo in the Italian tradition.

Pier Paolo Antolini
We came across Pier Paolo Antolini while on a quest for new Italian wines. We heard rave reviews about an up and coming winemaker known by locals as Amarone Boy. So we made a trip to Marano di Valpolicella, 25km north of Verona, to Pier Paolo Antolini's vineyard to see what Amarone Boy was all about. As soon as we arrived, we realised Pier Paolo was our type of producer. He's energetic, enthusiastic and animated even by Italian standards. Pier Paolo cares deeply about the land and the wine it produces, and his passion is infectious. The vineyard is small, just 7.5 hectares, and located on very stony ground. The ground around Marano di Valpolicella is so stony that it had to be completely cleared before it could be cultivated. Pier Paolo did most of this work by hand, so every square meter of the vineyard is precious.
