      92/100

      Ca’ la Bionda Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2019 BIO is a certified organic expression that reflects the Valpolicella Classico terroir in its purest form. Produced using the traditional appassimento method, organically grown grapes are carefully dried to concentrate their aromas and structure. The 2019 vintage stands out for its harmonious balance between power and finesse, delivering an intense yet refined wine with remarkable depth and aging potential.

      Azienda Agricola Ca 'la Bionda is located in Marano di Valpolicella, in the heart of the classic Valpolicella wine region. The vineyards stretch over 29 hectares at an altitude of 150 to 300 meters above sea level. The newly restored and rebuilt winery was founded in 1902 by the passionate and determined winemaker Pietro Castellani. The work of Pietro, begun more than a hundred years ago, continues with the same zeal and tenacity for the fourth generation of Castellani. All stages of wine making - the cultivation of the highest quality grapes, harvesting, vinification, wine aging and distribution - are carried out by the family. Particular attention is paid to the delicate process of drying berries (appassimento), which is an essential element in the production of the region's most aristocratic wines - Recioto and Amarone.

      The nose reveals ripe black cherries, dried plums, and forest berries, layered with notes of cocoa, tobacco, sweet spices, and a subtle balsamic touch. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety, and concentrated, with a rich core of dark fruit balanced by fresh acidity and ripe, polished tannins. The finish is long, warm, and multi-layered, with lingering hints of chocolate and spice.

      Perfect with rich meat dishes such as grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb, or game, where the wine’s structure and intensity enhance the depth of flavors. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and truffle dishes, while equally enjoyable on its own as a contemplative wine.

      Valpolicella is the most famous red wine region in northeastern Italy, in the Veneto wine region. It's not hard to see why, given the ease of drinking the regular red wine Valpolicella along with the prestige of its strong and intensely flavored counterpart Amarone. The main grape variety used for the production of local red wines is Corvina. This variety is still the choice of higher quality grapes for the wines Valrolicella, Valolicella Ripasso, Amarone della Valpolicella, as well as for the sweet wines Recioto della Valpolicella. On warmer, well-drained slopes, Corvina produces full-bodied wines, which explains the huge difference in quality between regular Valpolicella wines and wines from the traditional production area of ​​Valpolicella Classico. The valley also produces white wines, both dry and sweet, from the Soave production area.
