Cà la Bionda

The Winery Cà La Bionda is located in Valgatara Marano in the province of Verona. This small village of about 3,000 inhabitants, 18 kilometres from the provincial capital, is located in one of the Italian areas best suited to the production of great red wines: Valpolicella.

The winery was born in 1902 on the initiative of Piero Castellani, who began to grow grapes and make wine on the farm. Today another Piero Castellani, namesake and great-grandson of the founder, runs the company with love, passion and success. The vineyards, which cover 29 hectares, are planted mainly on limestone and clay soils and are located between 150 and 300 metres above sea level. They face south and southeast, which favors the ripening of the grapes. The grape varieties in the vineyard are the classic Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinonefrom which the famous Amarone and Recioto wines are made.
