      About
      created through the traditional Ripasso technique, which involves re-fermenting the young wine on the skins of grapes used for Amarone, enhancing its complexity and body. This process imbues the wine with a depth and richness that is characteristic of the Valpolicella Classico region in Veneto, Italy. Crafted from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, primarily Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, this Ripasso is a testament to Ca' La Bionda's dedication to preserving regional winemaking traditions while producing wines of exceptional quality and expressiveness.
      Producer
      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.
