WINE DESCRIPTION
Begali Lorenzo Tigiolo is a premium red wine produced by the Begali family in the Valpolicella appellation of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of mostly Corvina, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grapes, grown in the family's vineyards located on the hillsides of Valpolicella. The vineyards are characterized by their unique soil composition and microclimate, which impart distinct flavors and aromas to the wine. The grapes are carefully handpicked and undergo a traditional winemaking process, including a long maceration period and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium to full-bodied, complex, and elegant wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla. It is a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
