Andrea Brunelli

Coming Up

Since 2011, Andrea Brunelli has been the owner and winemaker of Corte Bravi / Società Agricola Corte Bravi. The role is defined less by display than by continuity: holding the estate’s pace, reading the site, and making decisions that keep farming and cellar work aligned with the shape of the place. In Valpolicella, that kind of work asks for consistency, restraint, and long attention to detail.

Signature

Andrea's signature wines include Valpolicella Classico, TIMIDO, SCATTO, AMARONE CLASSICO DELLA VALPOLICELLA, and Vivace. Read as a set, they show a range built from the same base: a wine that holds the language of place, alongside bottles that push the register in different directions. Valpolicella Classico sits as the reference point; TIMIDO, SCATTO, AMARONE CLASSICO DELLA VALPOLICELLA, and Vivace extend that frame without breaking from it. The range suggests a cellar working with variation, but still keeping a clear line back to the estate.

In Their Words “This is our Valpolicella Classico, it is our base wine of tradition, the one that most reflects the characteristics of our territory.” That description places Valpolicella Classico where many producers would: as the baseline expression, the wine that carries the most direct read on the territory. In trade terms, it is the reference bottle in the range, the one against which the other wines can be understood. “Each wine is unique, it has its own personality, its character, its music. Nature unites them.” The point here is differentiation within a common frame. Each wine is presented as having its own identity, while nature provides the continuity that ties the lineup together. It is a practical way to describe a cellar where variation is not treated as drift, but as part of the structure.
