History has proven his methodology correct and the controversy long past, now he carries himself with quiet dignity knowing he has earned the respect of not only the producers in Verona but the Italian wine industry as well. Only the look of satisfaction in the man's smile gives a hint that his wisdom has prevailed. The Boscaini family, based in the heart of the classical Valpolicella region, has been making wine since 1772. Dario was raised in those vineyards. One must begin in the vineyard.
Good wines come from good vineyards and good grapes indigenous to the region.
He learned this lesson well. In 1972 as a young man with a degree in Agricultural Science, he was appointed Director of the School of Viticulture, Agriculture Institute of Valpolicella specializing in growing grapes typical of Verona. He held that position until 1992. He was also on the committee board assigning awards for Valpolicella wines and Classic Amarone. In 1978 he became President of the Consortium for the tutelage of Verona Wines.
