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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Amarone undergoes the local tradition of appassimento, the method of drying out some of the fruit where it loses up to 40% of its water weight. That being said, this Amarone is unique as it has all the elegance and minerality of Burgundy. Aged for roughly three years in large Slavonian oak before release. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wineCRAFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31653207506967,"sku":"Italian:IT072CB005\/6-19","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/products\/Ca_LaBiondaAmaroneClassico2013-01.jpg?v=1635188345","url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/products\/ca-la-bionda-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-2019","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
