The Azienda Agricola Ca’la Bionda is situated in the commune of Marano di Valpolicella, in the heart of the historically “classic” zone of the Valpolicella. The winery, recently renovated and restructured, was founded in 1902 by Pietro Castellani who was both a passionate and dedicated grape grower and winemaker.
The Castellani family, currently in its fourth generation, continues with the same commitment and passion the work began by Pietro more than one hundred years ago. All phases of the wine-making process, cultivation of the highest quality grapes, grape harvest, vinification, aging and marketing are carried out directly by the family. Particular attention and care are given to the delicate process of grape drying or “appassimento” that is essential for the making of Recioto and Amarone, the region’s greatest and most noble wines.
Tasting Notes:
This sweet wine is rich at the nose. The wine is elegant and rich, but not cloying, with an exceptional minerality which renders it fresh and very drinkable. It is the perfect wine to enjoy with blue-cheese, tarts, butter cakes and chocolate.
