Ca' La Bionda, Valpolicella Superiore "Casalvegri" 2020
Regular price $30.00 Save $-30.00/
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Variety: Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella
Hart & Cru was introduced to this wine by Christoph Kuenzli, from the famed Le Piane winery in northern Piemonte. Finding a great producer in the hills of Valpolicella can be tough so leaning on friends always helps. There are many regions in Italy that show the detrimental hand of western trends. Ca’La Bionda is located in the historic “classic” zone of the Valpolicella region. Founded in 1902, the family’s focus has always been on the grapes and the vineyard work. They presently cultivate 25 hectares. Alessandro Castellani is the current, fourth-generation winemaker. His wines are held in six-foot-tall oak casks until ready to drink. Certain wines are aged longer than others. But at every step of the way, attention is given to tradition, as opposed to modern, quick winemaking. Alessandro’s wines rarely receive much mainstream press, which is fine by him.
Ca’ La Bionda opted against the fashionable choice of the ripasso method often seen in the Valpolicella zone. The Casalvegri vineyard is noted for its fantastic soil composition, elevation, and micro-climate; all the grapes used come from this site. This considered, there is no ripasso method used for the wine. After ageing in stainless, the wine ages for 18 months in 3000 liter barrels, and another six months in bottle before release.

Le Fraghe, Bardolino Chiaretto Rosato 'Rodon' 2021
Regular price $20.00 Save $-20.00/
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Variety: Corvina, and Rondinella
As a young girl, Matilde Poggi, grew up around winemaking and hearing her parents talk about it. During October, she would go straight from school to the vineyards to help with the harvest. Her first harvest was in 1984, prior to that, the grapes were sold to another winery. Matilde is passionate about the surrounding terroir of valleys, rivers, winds from the north, and the mountainous areas that makes her wines uniquely their own. Her 3 daughters now help her run the winery. They have been certified organic since 2009.
“Chiaretto” comes from the word chiaro, meaning pale or light, which describes this rose perfectly. Made mostly from the Corvina grape variety, and made in a style more reminiscent of a white wine, Rodòn is a well-loved rose representing the Bardolino Chiaretto style of Lake Guarda.

Quintarelli, Veneto Primofiore 2019
Regular price $80.00 Save $-80.00/
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Variety: Corvina, Corvinone, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc
Giuseppe Quintarelli is a class act in the region of Veneto, more specifically in the zone of Valpolicella. There he’s known as the Maestro of Veneto. His name commands respect, the wines are sought after, yet difficult to track down. What set him apart from other producers growing the same grapes in this region is the love and passion that went into each one of them and the whimsical hand-written bottle labels. This is a true passion project as the wines are never hurried in the cellar. Multiple passes through the vineyard allows the making of more than one wine from the same grapes, including the tedious process of the appassimento method where the grapes would raisinate on straw mats. After a career spanning 60 years, his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren carry on his passion for the things in life that need a little more time.
This one gets its name because it is the “first flower,” It is the most youthful wine to be made every year, though it’s still made in the thorough Quintarelli manner. Some of the fruit, namely the Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, is partially dried while the others are pressed fresh. Primofiore is the exception to the aging rule as it is aged only 2-3 years before release.
