We are located at the entrance to Valpolicella Classica, coming from Verona, on the central hill with a panoramic view, in the medieval village of Castelrotto. Our property is adjacent to Castrum Rotari (7th century), a historic military fortress considered the “Ground Zero” of Valpolicella Classica.

Casa dei Fraccaroli (1790) – a family heirloom for centuries, one of the oldest mansions in the village, located in the romantic square of Castelrotto – today comprises the Borghetti Giampiero Winery, the family's boutique winery, and the Castrum Wine Relais – Albergo Diffuso.

The tasting experience begins in the boutique winery, with a presentation of the family's history and the territory, followed by a tasting led by our sommeliers of three Valpolicella wines from our own production, accompanied by local food products. An upgrade with gourmet platters is also available.

The wines for tasting are the three famous passito wines of Valpolicella: Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG, and Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, accompanied by a gourmet cheese platter with Amarone balsamic dressing and artisanal mostarda.

The tasting experience takes place in the boutique winery or on the panoramic terrace/pergola.

We also offer alternatives to wine, with themed mocktails created by our bartenders, aimed at adults but also at children and teens.
The whole family – adults, children and teenagers – can take part in the experience.

A unique place to experience Valpolicella with all your senses, amid breathtaking views, art, family stories and great wines.
