Vaona Odino bottle their Valpolicella Classico under an organic certification mark, priced in the same band as the uncertified reds of Valgatara.
Tip: The Valpolicella Classico Biologico is the label to look for; the organic mark is on the front.
Address: Via Paverno 41, Valgatara, 37020 Marano di Valpolicella, Verona, Italy
Certified organic estate on the Casterna slope above Fumane, working the Iperico and Iltabarro bottlings from organically farmed Corvina and Corvinone.
Tip: The registered office is in San Pietro in Cariano but the working cellar and the vines are at Casterna in Fumane.
Small certified organic holding on Via Giare at Gargagnago, working a few hectares beside much larger neighbours in the same hamlet.
Tip: Gargagnago sits on the SP4, so this fits between Sant'Ambrogio and San Pietro in Cariano without a detour.
Organic estate on Monte Tenda above Illasi in the eastern valleys, farming a single contiguous holding rather than scattered parcels.
Tip: Illasi is 25 minutes east of Verona and far quieter than the Classico zone at weekends.
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.
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.
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.
