More about Cà la Bionda
What Pietro Castellani founded in 1902 is carried on today by his great-grandsons with the same passion: Alessandro Castellani is responsible for winemaking as cellar master, while his brother Nicola is in charge of viticulture. This direct link from vineyard to bottle is also a principle of the FIVI (Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti), of which the winery was a co-founder in 2008.
Terroir and vineyards
The Cà la Bionda vineyards cover 29 hectares in a privileged hillside location at an altitude of 150 to 300 metres above sea level. The east-south-east orientation of the vineyards offers optimal conditions for viticulture in the Marano Valley. The special soil conditions and the microclimate characterise the authentic character of the wines.
Philosophy and winemaking
The Castellani brothers pursue a clear quality-orientated philosophy that is reflected in all aspects of their work. At the centre of this is the exclusive use of local grape varieties, combined with strictly organic viticulture, which has been certified since 2016. Traditional vinification methods and personalised supervision of the entire winemaking process underline their uncompromising commitment to quality.
The wines
At the heart of the production are the classic Valpolicella wines, which authentically reflect the character of the Marano Valley:
Valpolicella Classico Superiore
The basic Valpolicella impresses with its freshness and elegance. The traditional grape varieties Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella produce a fruity, medium-bodied red wine.
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
The winery's flagship Amarone matures for at least 36 months in large wooden barrels. A complex, multi-layered wine with flavours of dried fruit, dark chocolate and subtle spicy notes.
Ravazzol
This single-vineyard selection from the vineyard of the same name is considered one of the best Valpolicella Classico Superiore in the region. The old vines and the special terroir character characterise this elegant wine.
Sustainability and tradition
The Cà la Bionda winery impressively combines tradition and modern sustainability. The winery has been fully organic since 2016 and is actively committed to preserving indigenous grape varieties. The fourth generation of family craftsmanship is particularly evident in the traditional winemaking methods. As a committed member of FIVI, the winery also stands for independent wine craftsmanship and authentic terroir wines.
The winery is an example of the successful combination of tradition and sustainable viticulture. The authentic wines and the commitment to indigenous grape varieties make Cà la Bionda an outstanding representative of the Valpolicella region.
