Gerardo Cesari is a well-established winery based in the Valpolicella area near Verona, founded in 1936 with the ambition of producing Amarone capable of competing on an international level. From its early years, the winery focused on quality and global recognition, becoming one of the first producers to export Amarone worldwide in the 1970s.

Today, Cesari combines traditional winemaking methods with a modern, precision-driven approach, placing strong emphasis on terroir and consistency. Its vineyards extend across Valpolicella and nearby zones such as Lugana, encompassing a range of soil types that contribute to complexity and stylistic diversity.

The winery primarily works with indigenous varieties like Corvina and Rondinella, which form the foundation of wines such as Amarone, Ripasso and Valpolicella. The style is characterized by a balance of structure and elegance, with layered aromas of dark fruit, spice and subtle oak influence.

Cesari’s philosophy can be described as a modernization of tradition, preserving regional identity while adapting to contemporary standards. Today, it is regarded as a key producer in Valpolicella, known for wines that combine classic character with international appeal and consistent quality.
