Mezzo Ettaro

HALF HECTARE IN THE HEART OF VALPOLICELLA CLASSICA

 Mezzo Ettaro is the brainchild of Giorgio Dolcetta who, following a major life change, decided to structure the farm commercially and productively based on what was initially just a hobby, to sell his products through hospitality.

 Half a Hectare in name and fact!

A small manicured vineyard on the Masùa hill cultivated personally by Giorgio Dolcetta, charismatic owner, and Leonardo Zamboni his promising helmsman. The care of every vine and olive tree on the estate is done strictly naturally and truly by hand so that you can savor all the authenticity of Mezzo Ettaro's terroir in a glass of Valpolicella Superiore DOC Bio, Rosato Veronese IGT Bio still or sparkling, or Amarone DOCG from the limited production. The grapes of Mezzo Ettaro are vinified separately at a prestigious winery on the Torricelle di Verona as the size of the winery does not allow direct vinification.

Love for nature and respect for its times, passion for wine and local products give life to a wide variety of tastings, and with warmth and conviviality Giorgio and Leonardo welcome each of their guests into the house.

With a focus on quality and authenticity, Mezzo Ettaro offers unique experiences, from tasting to cultural programs, sometimes even involving childrens.

Giorgio and Leonardo's passion and warm hospitality attract visitors, offering a slow and meaningful form of tourism. In 2026, Mezzo Ettaro received an important recognition for inclusivity, thanks to the organization of educational sessions on relationship, love and sexuality in 2025. This year the sessions will continue, also expanding to other topics related to personal well-being. Leonardo received the "Best Wine Hospitality Manager" award for inclusivity, where wine is combined with dialogue on important and thought-provoking topics.
