Azienda agricola Val di Venere

It all began with the breeding of the giant black schnauzer

Heading north-east, a few kilometres from Verona, the Lessini mountains begin to embrace the city. The hills, at first dotted with olive groves and vineyards, gradually give way to woods and pastures. The picturesque Valpantena, also known as the Valley of the Gods, begins to narrow. Reaching Santa Maria in Stelle, in the vicinity of the Pantheon, the hills form a basin, legendary guardian of a mysterious statue of a golden Venus.

It all started with the purchase of a few black Riesenschnauzers to guard the house and the countryside. Before long, the breed's unique morphological and temperamental qualities made us fall madly in love with it and prompted us to breed it.

The Giant Schnauzer is a strong, proud, guarding and responsible dog towards his family and his territory. After several years, the subjects born and bred in Val di Venere have filled us with satisfaction. Not only because of the victories in shows and work, but also because they have given us the opportunity to get to know many special people. Out of this first love of ours came the continuation of this story....

Organic Farm

Val di Venere is certified as an Organic Farm and our aim is the Bio-dynamic management of the company. We adhere to organic farming regulations to produce our Rosato, Valpolicella, Ripasso and Amarone wines. The grapes are pruned according to the Simonit & Sirch method, the harvest is carried out by hand, as is the mowing of the inter-row grass and many other processes.

Extra virgin olive oil, thousand-flower honey and herbs are added to our production to develop products with essential oils of lavender, rosemary and other plants.

Our wines

Passion for wine growing blends harmoniously with tradition. We cultivate the classic Valpolicella grape varieties with dedication and respect for nature to create our fine wines. We work according to the principles of organic farming, we prune the grapes according to the renowned Simonit & Sirch method and we harvest by hand, with the aim of enhancing the soil and ensuring the correct growth of the plants to obtain high quality fruit.

Our oil

One of our productions is oil. We cultivate our olive groves with the aim of preserving the authenticity and quality of the oil, obtained exclusively through traditional cultivation and harvesting techniques and without the use of chemicals. Our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the result of meticulous selection of the best fruits, and an extraction process that brings out the aromas and flavours of our freshly harvested organic olives.

Our honey

Since 2021 a hard-working community of bees has found a home at the Venus forest. Today we can count on a dozen or so hives where day after day the magic of producing a clear, fragrant and tasty millefiori honey takes place. Our organic honey is the result of traditional processing with an emphasis on sustainability. Each jar contains an abundance of aromatic notes that vary according to season and bloom, providing unique tastes and flavours.
