WINE DESCRIPTION
Ca La Bionda's Valpolicella Classico Superiore "Campo Casalvegri" is a remarkable wine born from the ambition of the Ca’ La Bionda winery within the Valpolicella DOC. Composed of indigenous grape varieties—Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara—the vines grow in the historic hills of Valpolicella, characterized by an east-facing hillside at elevations ranging from 150 to 300 meters. The calcareous and clayey soil imparts distinctive characteristics to the grapes. Spontaneous fermentation, thanks to indigenous yeasts, occurs in steel vats at controlled temperatures. The wine matures for 18 months in large oak barrels, presenting a ruby-red color with an intense, compact bouquet of ripe small fruits, subtle spice, and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is full-bodied, captivating, with a pleasant tannic structure and a refreshing finish. Ca La Bionda's "Campo Casalvegri" is a well-crafted Veneto red, celebrated by consumers and recognized by major Italian wine guides.
