4 natural spots in Valpolicella, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All dietary guides in Valpolicella.
Monte Dall'Ora ★ 4.8
Castelrotto, San Pietro in Cariano · Via Monte Dall'Ora 5, Castelrotto, 37029 San Pietro in Cariano, Verona, Italy
A low-intervention Classico-zone estate whose Saseti, Camporenzo and San Giorgio Alto sell through natural wine retailers as much as through classic wine merchants.
Tip: Saseti is the bottle you will actually find; the two Superiore crus sell out at the cellar door.
Corte Sant'Alda ★ 4.7
Mezzane di Sotto · Via Cà Fioi 1, 37030 Mezzane di Sotto, Verona, Italy
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.
Maddalene Enoteca Naturale ★ 4.5
Veronetta, Verona · Via Cantarane 69, 37129 Verona, Italy
The natural wine room in Veronetta, pouring only small growers who farm the land themselves, and the easiest place in Verona to taste low-intervention Veneto by the glass.
Tip: Closed Tuesday. Open from 18:00 on the other six days, from 17:00 on Sunday.
Monte Dall'Ora Saseti ★ 4.6
Castelrotto, San Pietro in Cariano · Via Monte Dall'Ora 5, Castelrotto, 37029 San Pietro in Cariano, Verona, Italy
The estate's entry Valpolicella Classico, the bottling that carries the biodynamic terraces of Castelrotto onto natural wine lists outside Italy.
Tip: Around EUR 14 to 20 at retail, the cheapest way into the estate's range.
