Cantina di Negrar Si.Mento Rosso Verona IGT

The Cantina di Negrar brand is the soul of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar and pays homage to the philosophy of cooperative production while also recalling the territory’s historical vestiges: the effigy of St. Mark’s Lion standing tall on a column in the centre of Negrar is testimony of the Venetian Republic’s domination in the sixteenth century. The Cantina di Negrar wines are rooted in the wine-making tradition of Valpolicella and the Veronese wine-growing areas, with a modern reinterpretation to guarantee the best price/quality ratio.

Si.Mento Rosso is a soft, elegant, easy-drinking wine, intended for the general public, but above all for young people.
The name Si.Mento is the last part of the word ‘appassi-mento‘, but at the same time it means ‘si, mento‘ in Italian; ‘yes, I’m lying‘. It’s meant as an unloving salute from the orthodox producer in Valpolicella to the southern Italian versions, which are often made with must concentrate instead of dried grapes.

“We want to offer a new interpretation of Valpolicella, a  denomination that gives wines of great structure, but which can also give quality wines that are easy to drink,  in every occasion and place.” Daniele Accordini, CEO and winemaker of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar.
