Begali, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, Monte Ca' Bianca, 2018
From a blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, all grown in the single Monte Ca’ Bianca vineyard, and aged in French barriques, 1/3 new. Gentle colour. Extraordinary power and intensity. The flavours of an autumnal compôte of cooked black fruit tinged with cinnamon. Fine acidity dancing a mineral thread. Now-2035
The Begali family - father Lorenzo, son Giordano and daughter Tiliana - farm 10 hectares just east of Lake Garda. Although small, this is a top Valpolicella estate, having won numerous Tre Bicchieri awards in Gambero Rosso, but with very fair pricing. The famed Amarone style is made from selected bunches of grapes dried in the autumn to concentrate the sugars and dry extract. In this country Amarone is often drunk to accompany hard cheese at the end of a meal (and it's great with well-aged cheddar) but in Verona you find restaurants serving it by the carafe to accompany red meats. An Amarone drinks pretty well with a grilled steak! It's a stunning and unique style.
