Wine Description for Valpolicella Classico DOC 2024 by Ca´ La Bionda

Colour & Appearance

A pale, translucent purple with vibrant violet reflections – typical of a youthful Valpolicella that mirrors the freshness of the vintage in the glass.

Nose

Seductively intense and of impressive clarity: dark cherries, blackberries and blueberries dominate the aromatic profile with a precision that recalls the finest examples from the Classico zone. Elegant floral notes of violet and rose add an almost perfumed dimension to the wine. Subtle spice accents of vanilla and nutmeg round out the complex bouquet.

Palate

Here lies the true strength of this Valpolicella: charming, light-footed and possessed of a drinkability that is utterly addictive. With just 12% alcohol, it boasts an enviable balance between fruit concentration and freshness. The texture is silky, the acidity vibrant – a red wine that manages the feat of being simultaneously stimulating and effortlessly quaffable.

Finish

Medium-length and refreshing, with lingering cherry notes and a fine herbal spice that invites the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes hail from the prestigious Classico zones of Marano and Fumane, where limestone soils impart their characteristic minerality and elegance to the wines. These historic vineyard sites are the heart of authentic Valpolicella.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A classic cuvée of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, fermented with wild yeasts – a commitment to naturalness and terroir that gives this wine its vibrant personality.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An ideal companion to Vitello Tonnato, grilled vegetables, Pasta al Pomodoro or Pizza Margherita. Also a revelation with light antipasti and summer salads with mozzarella. Serve lightly chilled at warm temperatures.

Special Characteristics

A perfect summer wine that proves red wine need not be heavy. The combination of moderate alcohol and vibrant fruit makes it the ideal companion for hot days – a refreshing alternative to heavy, concentrated red wines.
