Marinella Camerani's Mezzane estate is the eastern-valley name that natural wine lists carry, worked biodynamically with minimal cellar handling.
Tip: The estate trades under the Camerani name online, which is why searches for Corte Sant'Alda often land on camerani.wine.
Address: Via Cà Fioi 1, 37030 Mezzane di Sotto, Verona, Italy, Valpolicella
Marinella Camerani farms the Mezzane valley estate biodynamically, with woodland and pasture kept alongside the vines rather than cleared for them.
