WINE DESCRIPTION
Ca La Bionda Vigneti di Ravazzol Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a rich, raisinated, structured, powerful red wine with dried fruit and herbal complexity intended to be drunk or cellared over the long term. Ca La Bionda is a family owned estate. This wine is made from Corvina grapes, with the addition of Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. All grapes are grown in the single hillside vineyard of Ravazzol. The grapes are dried to concentrate the flavors between October and February before fermentation and aging in large, old, oak vats until the family believes that they are ready for release. This is a good choice for those that prefer opulent styles of full bodied red wine or a seeking a wine to accompany hard cheeses.
