Villa Crine produces the classic DOC and DOCG wines of Valpolicella, utilizing native grape varieties like Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella. The winery also crafts IGT wines that stand out for their unique characteristics.

This method, inherited from previous generations, imparts the wines with distinctive and memorable flavors that are characteristic of the Valpolicella region.
