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 blackberries, layered with notes of cocoa, tobacco, sweet spices, and subtle mineral undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied, structured, and velvety, with a concentrated core of dark fruit balanced by fresh acidity and refined, mature tannins. The finish is long and complex, unfolding with elegant layers of chocolate, spice, and a delicate balsamic touch.

Ideal with refined and rich dishes such as beef tenderloin, slow-cooked lamb, or game, where the wine’s depth and structure enhance the intensity of flavors. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and truffle-based dishes, creating a luxurious and harmonious combination. Equally suited for enjoying on its own as a contemplative wine.
