In 1989 Cantina Valpolicella Negrar launched an articulated Quality Project: first it identified particularly suitable areas of Valpolicella putting in a great deal of hard work alongside the grape-growers in order to obtain grapes of extraordinary quality. Their careful selection led to the creation of important crus and a line dedicated to the Domìni Veneti brand. From a simple product line today Domìni Veneti has become a veritable brand producing very prestigious Veronese wines most of them cru DOC DOCG and IGT.
