The name "Capitel della Crosara" derives from the ancient capital present in the small village of Valpolicella, depicting the figure of the Madonna, which was used as a strong-willed icon by the farmers of the area. In the 1950s, the Montresor family fell in love with the area and established a collaboration with the peasant families of the village to purchase their grapes, thus obtaining a monopoly on them.

This wine is obtained from the blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, typical of the Valpolicella area.

The vineyards of this wine are located in the heart of Valpolicella, in a strategic position that best expresses the beauty and richness of the terroir.

The method used for the production of this wine is the "Ripasso Method", a technique which involves the refermentation of the Amarone pomace on fresh Valpolicella grapes. After the harvest, the grapes undergo traditional vinification with destemming and maceration of the skins, with slow fermentation. Subsequently, refermentation takes place on the Amarone pomace, followed by aging in wood for approximately one year.
