CASTRUM WINE RELAIS
Address: Via Castello 21 - 37029 - San Pietro in Cariano (VR)
WELCOME TO VALPOLICELLA!
Castrum is the mirror of the Valpolicella Classica! The Relais is located close to Castelrotto Castle and in its square: military stronghold built by the Lombards in the 7th century. From this Castle, Federico di Svevia, the Great King of Germany, in 1177 changed the name of the area from Val di Veriago and Pruvigniano to VALPOLICELLA.
CASTRUM WINE RELAIS
The Ralais has 12 rooms & suites, located inside the property and on the two floors of Casa Fraccaroli.
The rooms inside the property with a surprising and urban style are equipped with every comfort.
These rooms represent the VALPOLICELLA with the indication of the 5 localities included in the protected area of Valpolicella Classica, in each of them you will find the story of this area, from the field to the cellar.
The Suite’s area is located in Casa Fraccaroli. 5 suites are dedicated to the great sculptor INNOCENZO FRACCAROLI, born in this villa in 1805. Our guests can choose between Suite GIUSTIZIA, Suite DAVIDE, Suite ICARO, Suite CLIZIA and the most important of them, the ACHILLE Suite. Finally, a gem is the suite dedicated to Nonna ARGENE FRACCAROLI.
The Fraccaroli family and its descendants have owned this complex since its origins and until today the entire village has been inherited from generation to generation. The current owner, Giampiero Borghetti, remembers his childhood in this house where he tooks his first steps with his grandmother Argene Fraccaroli.
CASTRUM is also CASTRUM WINE BAR & BISTRO and CASTRUM WINERY
The bistro is open 7 days a week, a reference point for locals and for those visiting Valpolicella, a concept bar that offers aperitif drinks, signature cocktails and an accurate wine list and the bistro kitchen with appealing dishes.
CASTRUM WINERY where the Fraccaroli’s family had been producing wine since the 18th century. PAOLO BORGHETTI built the current cellar in 1980 and today his son Giampiero Borghetti takes care of it directly, with passion. Wine tastings are organized directly in the cellar in a dedicated area, with large tables and an overall view of the barrels.
Giampiero Borghetti has dedicated to CASTRUM an entire line of Valpolicella wines carefully prepared and selected in the cellar on the property. The CASTRUM range offers: Achille (amarone), Davide (ripasso), Giustizia (classic valpolicella), Icaro (corvina) and Clizia (recioto).
Every corner of CASTRUM is pefect to the organization of events, meetings and private or corporate parties.
