Services
Objectives confrontation
The client coordinates with the Furia team to define the desired processes and commits to providing quality raw materials, such as grapes, musts, or wines, to achieve optimal results.
The main services are of four types: Appassimento (grapes withering),transformation, ageing, and ready-to-bottle.
Our cellar
The coordination of our team and the available technologies allows us to monitor every step of production, achieving extraordinary results.
Our cellar
The headquarters is situated in Marano di Valpolicella.
The exceptionally qualified Furia team and state-of-the-art facilities manage a total production of 90,000 hectoliters, encompassing red wines, white wines, and high-quality sparkling wine bases.
The winery has the fermentative capacity to handle approximately 10,000 hectoliters of wine at once, utilizing fermenters of 800 hectoliters each.
Thanks to the extensive vineyard production at its disposal, Furia meticulously monitors every stage from the grape in the vineyard to the finished wine, ensuring a meticulous selection process that yields extraordinary results.
The facility adheres to international food safety and hygiene standards, holding BRC-IFS certification.

Appassimento
The client consults with the Furia agronomic team, which provides direct vineyard consulting and supervision of the grape ripening curve for organizing the harvest.
Subsequently, our agronomists collaborate with the Furia enological team to determine the optimal sugar concentration and solids level for the project.
Furia’s Appassimento (withering) facilities with controlled ventilation and humidity comply with all international food hygiene standards and are BRC-IFS certified.
The Appassimento (withering) technicians monitor the health status of the grapes daily, and the laboratory team conducts weekly sample analyses to track the progress of the drying process until the desired result is achieved.
Grapes processing
The client collaborates with the Furia enological team, who expertly tailor their services to meet the client's specifications to craft a wine that truly represents them.
The winery boasts a fermentative capacity of about 10,000 hl of wine per batch and can manage both large volumes and smaller lots under 100 hl.
In red wine production, malolactic fermentation is only performed after alcoholic fermentation to allow for varied aging techniques.
Speed is essential in white wine production; immediately after pressing, the musts are clarified by flotation and inoculated.
The advanced nitrogen system ensures protection against uncontrolled oxidation.
For sparkling wine bases, which require high acidity, the agronomic team samples the grapes directly in the vineyard to strategically plan the subsequent cellar operations.
Refinement and aging
The client consults with the Furia enological team to jointly determine the most suitable aging process and its timing.
Aging can be carried out in various types of wooden barrels or using the sophisticated micro-oxygenation system in steel tanks.
Ready to bottle
It is crucial to stabilize the wine to ensure its long-lasting preservation in the bottle and to filter it from all possible solid residues of fermentation.
Certification is the final step before bottling approval, and it is provided by external regulatory bodies that verify the wine meets the characteristics outlined in production standards and is safe for human consumption.
Bulk wines vary significantly, making it essential to ensure product traceability for our clients through comprehensive sampling, thorough analysis, and sophisticated computer systems capable of monitoring every production stage within the winery.
In this regard, BRC-IFS certification is particularly valuable, not just for maintaining hygiene and food safety but crucially for safeguarding the quality and uniqueness of the wine.
Laboratory and wine research
The laboratory is the heart of the company,central to all winery operations.
Each batch of incoming grapes is sampled and analyzed, allowing us to tailorthe transformation process to the grape type.
Our oenologists continuously sample and monitorevery stage for each tank, from fermentation to aging and final bottlingreadiness.
This includes testing for alcohol level, potential alcohol, pH, volatile andtotal acidity, tartaric and protein stability, levels of free and total sulfurdioxide, residual sugars, and color intensity.
The enological team then provides daily guidance to the cellar staff oninterventions for each wine.
Furthermore, Furia collaborates with certified external laboratories to ensurethe safety of the wines we sell, all in pursuit of delivering the highestquality selection to our clients.
Laboratory and wine research
Wide-range monitoring to guarantee exceptional results.
Our commitment to the environment
Investments in Research and Development, along with sharing ideas with universities and partners, to reduce each year the externalities of our company.
A solid commitment
Furia is aware of the impact of its operations on the environment that hosts us.
Investments in state-of-the-art winery technologies with maximum energy efficiency, water recovery through fertigation, and photovoltaic systems help us mitigate our externalities.
In the vineyard, we utilize precision agriculture technology systems and adhere to certified integrated production schemes S.Q.N.P.I., aimed at maximizing efficiency in the use of inputs like water, diesel, and phytosanitary products. This allows us to minimize waste and implement a targeted strategy that protects biodiversity.
Our field machinery fleet is updated annually with additions that enhance the well-being of our staff and ensure their safety at work.
The entire Furia team receives annual training, from administration to production, with seminars aimed at raising awareness of the impact of each work operation on the environment and the well-being of colleagues.
