Variety: Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella

Ca' La Bionda is located in the commune of Marano di Valpolicella in the heart of
the Classico zone of Valpolicella. Founded by Pietro Castellani in 1902, Ca' La Bionda has over 29 hectares of hillside vineyards at an altitude between 150 and 300 meters. Today the estate is in its fourth generation of family leadership.

The Ravazzol Amarone is a blend of 70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella from 50-70 year old vines grown on the hillside vineyard of Ravazzol. Immediately after harvest in September and October, the bunches of grapes are placed on cane drying racks until January or February in order to dry out the grapes, concentrating flavors and helping to delivering the unique aromas and structure of Amarone.

Ca' La Bionda, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2013

$64.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella

I was introduced to Ca' La Bionda by Christoph Kuenzli, from the famed Le Piane winery in northern Piemonte. Finding a great producer in the hills of Valpolicella can be tricky so leaning on friends always helps. There are many regions in Italy that show the detrimental hand of western trends. Amarone is, and should be, one of the great wines of Italy. However, finding one that still tastes genuinely Italian can be tricky. 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. 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. This wine is more than capable of selling itself.

Ca'La Bionda, Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Vigneti Le Tordare 2012

$55.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone
bottle size: 500ml

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. This wine is more than capable of selling itself.

This wine undergoes a labor-intensive process that is worth the effort. After the harvest of these grapes at the end of September, the grapes used are left to dry until March or April on the traditional cane mats known as "arelle." The results are grapes with very high residual sugar. Then the juice ferments in stainless steel; thereafter it will move on to age for 24 months in smaller barrels. Even after bottling in the 500ml bottles, the wine ages further in bottle for four months. An opulent rich wine deserves an equal pairing; this will accentuate blue cheese, butter cakes, or dark chocolate very nicely.

Le Fraghe, Bardolino 2019

$19.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Corvina and Rondinella

The Bardolino growing area is between the base of Lake Gardo and Valpolicella, not far from Verona in Northeast Italy. Matile Poggi’s Bardolino contains more Corvina than is normal, with only 20% of the wine being Rondinella. The estate is organic, and the two varieties are fermented separately and then blended, using no oak for aging, as the wine would be overwhelmed by wood. This is an extremely versatile wine, with a body not unlike Pinot Noir.
