The Squarano estate is located in the heart of the most classical Valpolicella, on a gentle hilltop surrounded by cypress trees. Here the Marchesi Fumanelli family have been cultivating the vineyards and producing prestigious wines since 1470 on antique remains dating back to the Roman age. The inscriptions and archaeological remains in the villa and in the grounds are numerous, including the vestiges of a temple dedicated to the Goddess Flora.
From here, presumably, derives the name San Floriano given to the millenary church and to the village. It is likely that also the villa of King Berengario dating back to the X Century was positioned on the hilltop of Squarano.
Since 1998 the ancient cellars, after careful restoration, host once more the wooden barrels for the ageing of the classical wines of the Valpolicella.
