Valpolicella is so small that it can be held in a fist, it comprises only five historic municipalities – San Pietro in Cariano, Fumane, Marano, Sant’Ambrogio, Negrar. The hamlet of Castelrotto lies right on top of the central hill, embracing with its gaze the multicolored vineyards of the entire classic Valpolicella, offering a unique and complete perspective of the valley.<\/p>\n

In the most panoramic point of Valpolicella, Castrum Rotari was built in the 7th century, a military fortification that over the centuries has hosted prominent figures in history, such as King Rotari II, King Berengar (10th century) and King Frederick of Swabia II, King of the Germanic Empire, known as Barbarossa. It was precisely in Castelrotto Castle that Rotari II wrote his first Edict in 643 with the aim of protecting the vineyards and inflicting severe punishment on those who damaged them.<\/p>\n
