the Alta Project
Our Valley
of the gods
In 2017, a meeting took place that would change the fate of La Collina
dei Ciliegi forever: one between Massimo Gianolli, Christian Roger and
two world-renowned ‘agristars’ Lydia and Claude Bourguignon.
With them and the exceptional team of professionals
we gathered together, we started mapping,
analysing and coring our high-altitude terrain.
The first plant system was installed in May 2018.
We have thoroughly analysed the different soils of
our portion of the Valpantena in order to raise its
status to a true cru.
Since then, in the Valpolicella controlled designation
of origin area, at the highest altitudes of the
Valpantena, the new, ambitious and exciting
Alta wine project is taking shape.
