Ca la Bionda Valpolicella Classico DOC 2023

Ca' la Bionda Valpolicella Classico DOC 2023 is a dry red wine crafted from a meticulous blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, cultivated organically in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region of Veneto, Italy. This elegant wine captures the essence of its terroir with a commitment to sustainability and tradition, ensuring a true expression of the Valpolicella style. It is highlighting the purity of the fruit and the authenticity of the region.

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.

On the palate, the wine is vibrant and medium-bodied, with flavors of red cherry, raspberry, and subtle hints of wild herbs. The bright acidity balances seamlessly with gentle tannins, creating a harmonious and refreshing structure. Aromas of violet and a touch of black pepper linger on the finish, adding depth and complexity.

This Valpolicella Classico pairs beautifully with lighter Italian dishes such as pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled vegetables, or mildly spiced charcuterie. It also complements roasted poultry or fresh cheeses like ricotta or burrata.
